Former Rep. Darrell Issa to campaign for Hunter's position.

The wealthy Republican had been nominated by Trump to lead the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, but after his nomination stalled for more than a year, Issa withdrew from consideration.

In announcing his bid in September, Issa said that Hunter was a friend and that his situation was "regrettable," but that the district needed solid Republican representation.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to appoint the owner of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream, Kelly Loeffler, to fill the seat belonging to Sen. Johnny Isakson who is set to retire for health reasons. Trump's allies are furious that the gov choose her over Rep. Doug Collins.

Loeffler is a wealthy businesswoman without political experience. The CEO of Bakkt, a Bitcoin-focused subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange Inc., casts herself as a "lifelong Republican" and tells a personal narrative of working her way up the corporate ladder from her family's farm in rural Illinois.

One of Kemp's most vocal critics over the weekend was Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, a close Trump ally, who said Kemp was "ignoring" Trump because "you THINK you know better than @POTUS." Another Trump confidant, Fox News personality Sean Hannity, also endorsed Collins last week.

Loeffler takes the job following an online application process that Kemp opened in September. She submitted her résumé on the day of the deadline.

Loeffler's company, Bakkt, offers a regulated market for bitcoin trading, and its parent company, ICE, owns and operates commodity and financial market exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange. Loeffler previously worked as ICE's chief communications and marketing officer and is married to its founder and CEO, Jeff Sprecher.

She grew up on her family's corn and soybean farm in Illinois and wrote in her cover letter to Kemp that "From working on the family farm to creating jobs and opportunity in the business world, I have been blessed to live the American Dream. I am offering myself to serve hardworking Georgians as a political outsider in the United States Senate to protect that dream for everyone."

Trump saw that and immediately tweeted about how much she hates things, because he's a petty man baby and won't miss an opportunity to try and put someone down.

Although, if you were Catholic, you could openly talk about your hate for Lutherans as they have a 500-something year beef.

It's also hilarious that she says she "resents" the question in the next sentence. Hate isn't cool but resentment is fine.
