Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., announced on Friday that she is resigning from her seat, following weeks of clashing with Donald Trump.
“If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well,” Greene said in a statement posted to social media.
Georgia’s 14th district has a Cook Partisan Voting Index is R+19. That means that if the Republican candidate for President gets 45% nationwide, then the vote is expected to be 64% in that district.
Normally, an R+19 district would be untouchable for Democrats. Probably wouldn’t even run a candidate, and if they do, it’d be a strategic move to force the GOP to spend money on what should be a gimme. I met a woman once who ran in a race like that, and it ain’t a fun job.
That said, Democrats overperformed in the recent elections to close to that number, so it’s not out of reach.
