Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Democratic opponent drops out of Georgia House race
Fox News ^ | Sep 11 | By Marisa Schultz

The Democrat running against Marjorie Greene in Georgia abruptly dropped out of his race for Congress on Friday, a move that puts the controversial Republican on the fast track to Washington.

Kevin Van Ausdal announced Friday he's ending his longshot bid to represent the solidly red 14th congressional district for "family and personal reasons." He said he'll be leaving Georgia and therefore disqualified from serving in Congress. It was unclear what Van Ausdal's next steps would be.

Greene, a gun-toting conservative who has been suspended from social media on multiple occasions, wished the best to Van Ausdal and said it's time to defeat the rest of the Democrats in the general election.

"Now let's all work together to re-elect [President Trump], hold the U.S. Senate, repeal Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and help GA Republicans win!" Greene tweeted.

According to Real Clear Politics it appears that there are 31 tossup's among the congressional races, 19 of whom are vulnerable Democrats and 11 of whom are vulnerable Republicans.

I like the odds, nearly 2 to 1.

It occurs that the Republicans need about 15 or 16 seats to take the house. Has anyone got an update on the numbers?

It also occurs, however, that ballot harvesting will be far more effective in non-battleground blue states where the Democrats will control the results of ballot harvesting etc.

Any thoughts?

I heard 17 seats. I hope we can get them. Even by one seat. Just to stop the democrats from constant harassment of the president.

They might not send him money, but he could continue to leave his name on the ballot and let the chios fall where they may.

But he’s leaving the state, too? What the heck is up with that?

Why am I thinking something really awful was about to break about the guy.

And when you consider just how much Commies get away with, it must have been “bestial kiddie-porn snuff film” bad.
