Georgia’s Republican Senate Caucus is suspending a GOP state senator after an uproar over his plan to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for indicting former President Donald Trump
and many elected Republicans, on the one hand, and grassroots Trump backers who have captured control of Georgia’s Republican Party organization.
Moore will still be a member of the Senate and will still be a Republican, but may find it hard to pass legislation without support of the majority caucus. But he already often functioned like a party of one in the body, voting against measures that all other Republicans or all other senators supported.of a special session to impeach and remove Willis or defund her office, winning Trump’s endorsement.
Moore launched a petition for lawmakers to call themselves into special session, requiring signatures by three-fifths of both houses. That would require some Democratic support because Republicans have a less than 60% majority in each chamber. And the Senate would have required a two-thirds vote to remove Willis after the House impeached her.
