Kevin Van Ausdal's surprise announcement appears to guarantee Marjorie Taylor Greene will be elected to Congress in November
The Democratic congressional candidate running against QAnon-supporting Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia announced on Friday he was dropping out of the race.
Van Ausdal, who'd been considered a longshot to win the race in Georgia's solidly-Republican 14th District, said in a statement that"I am heartbroken to announce for personal and family reasons, I cannot continue this race for Congress." He said he was stepping aside now to give the party"a chance to put forward a candidate that can carry this fight through to the end."
Rep. Doug Collins, a Republican running for the Senate in Georgia, tweeted after Van Ausdal's announcement “Congratulations to Georgia’s new Congresswoman.” In a 2017 YouTube video, Greene said"Q is a patriot. He is someone that very much loves his country and is on the same page as us, and he is very pro-Trump. He appears to have connections at the highest levels."
