David Perdue announced Tuesday morning he will not run for reelection to the United State Senate Seat in Georgia in 2022.
The 71 year old filed campaign paperwork on February 15, but announced in a press statement that he and his wife, Bonnie, made the personal decision that he will not run again, and that it was not a political one.
"I am confident that whoever wins the Republican Primary next year will defeat the Democrat candidate in the General election for this seat, and I will do everything I can to make that happen," he said in the announcement. "As we saw in my race in November, Georgia is not a blue state. The more Georgians that vote, the better Republicans do. These two current liberal US Senators do not represent the values of a majority of Georgians."

He filed but quickly determined he would not be supported.
So this McConnellite will NOT be returning to the Senate.
Good!
A sad defeat for the GOPe.
Nice to know it isn’t political. Did China Mitch write that for him?
But the one who wins the Republican primary won't defeat the Dominion robot voting machines and Fulton County...
A republican will not win in now-blue Georgia. Either the state is "fake blue" because of election fraud, or "real blue" because it has shifted blue. Either way, it's blue now.
Hard to say. But let’s say it’s 51% blue. Midterms are in 2022 so you will see some voters not show up. That could be a good thing or a bad thing. I think we will see some soccer moms vote for GOP in 2022 because the Democrats have gone way too far left
Georgia is going the way of uber-liberal Virginia. Perdue likely saw the writing on the wall as he would’ve lost badly in 2022.
It’s insane that we don’t have term limits, and age limits.
Can Collins win? He screwed up one of the races last time. Maybe right Ning alone will give him a win.
Yep. Word got back to him Trump would not be supporting him.
Which means Trump voters would not be supporting him.
So far, Trump 1. McConnell 0.
Onward.
Running alone. We need an edit button big time!
The DemocRats will put something about marijuana on the ballot to bring out the “stoned vote”.
Nope, it’s a Red State. Red as in Communist like Red China. I refuse to use the mainstream media assigned color scheme. Red Georgia.
I like Collins, but I was baffled at why he ran in the first place against a Republican incumbent.
That was one of the Commie's most successful media accomplishments.
The biggest blunder. We’d have 51-49 right now if he hadn’t. I know McConnell is not great, but compared to Schumer, he’s Reagan.
AND another one [GOPeer] bites the dust.
We’ll see who Ditch gets nominated to run.
Yep, should be easy to improve over two candidates with 0 conservative credentials and less than 0 personalities.
The state is purple and with that rat mole SOS the GOP is doomed there.
Not really Hershel Walker wins that seat
Trump wanted Collins, Kemp appointed Loeffler instead. The open vote between the two was close but Loeffler won primarily because she was the incumbent.
