While successful in business, Loeffler was not known until he became a politician.

After gop -sen. Johnny Isakson retired from the Senate in late 2019 due to his deteriorating health, Republican government appointed Brian Kemp from Georgia Loeffler to fill Isakson’s unpacked period until the next regular election.

Loeffler lost narrowly against Democrat Raphael Warnock in a run -in election in January 2021, after no candidate topped 50% of the votes in a crowded challenge in the November 2020 election.
