The party’s Executive Committee unanimously voted Duncan out on Monday.

Duncan has been an outspoken critic of President-elect Donald Trump and spoke at the Democratic National Convention. Duncan reacted to his expulsion on X on Monday night.
“Hard to believe this is a good use of time for a party that’s only got a limited amount of time to figure out mass deportations, world peace, and global tariffs. Learn how to take a victory lap not light another dumpster fire.”
The resolution says Duncan is “banned from all property owned or leased by the Georgia Republican Party and all events held by or under the authority of the Georgia Republican Party.”
It also calls on Duncan to stop calling himself a Republican and for the media to refer to him as an “expelled Republican.”
The resolution also alleges Duncan undermined and sabotaged GOP candidates.
According to the resolution, Duncan is “banned from all property owned or leased by the Georgia Republican Party and all events held by or under the authority of the Georgia Republican Party.”
The Georgia GOP said Duncan is prohibited from qualifying as a candidate for the Georgia Republican Party. The group also said his previous GOP nominations for lieutenant governor and, before that, the state House of Representatives, both races in which he won the primary and general elections, have been expunged.
The resolution demanded Duncan cease calling himself a Republican for personal profit or to undermine and sabotage the Republican Party and its candidates.
The state party also urged media outlets to refer to Duncan as an “expelled Republican” in future references.
The resolution claims Duncan undermined and sabotaged some Republican candidates, including current Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and failed 2022 Senate candidate Herschel Walker.
It also notes Duncan’s public endorsements during the 2024 presidential race of President Biden and, when Biden dropped out, his subsequent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as a violation of his allegiance to the GOP.
