In what way can the Lieutenant Governor's independent election position impact the Governor's agenda?

The role of the Lieutenant Governor in Georgia is significant because they are elected independently of the Governor. This separation can lead to situations where the Lieutenant Governor may not necessarily support the Governor's legislative agenda. If the Lieutenant Governor has different political priorities or party affiliations from the Governor, their independent stance can obstruct or complicate the passage of certain legislation that the Governor wishes to implement. This can create a dynamic where the Governor must negotiate more actively with the Lieutenant Governor and may need to adjust their agenda to gain the necessary support for their initiatives. Such friction underscores the potential for the Lieutenant Governor's office to be a source of challenge rather than unity in pushing the Governor’s strategy forward.
