The Democrat running against Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia congressional candidate who made racist and Islamophobic comments, announced he's withdrawing from the race, leaving Greene virtually unopposed in the general election
The Democrat running against Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, the controversial Georgia congressional candidate who made racist and Islamophobic comments and expressed support for QAnon conspiracy theories, announced Friday he is withdrawing from the race, leaving Greene virtually unopposed in the general election.
"The next steps in my life are taking me away from Georgia, so I will be disqualified from serving in Congress and will give the party a chance to put forward a candidate that can carry this fight to the end," Van Ausdal said in a statement. It is unclear if Raffensperger, a Republican, will honor that request. Georgia election law dictates that a vacancy created by thewithdrawal of a candidate less than 60 days prior to the date of the election shall not be filled."
