Georgia Republican Perdue won't run for US Senate in 2022

Source: AP

ATLANTA (AP) — Former Georgia Sen. David Perdue said Tuesday that he will not run in 2022 to reclaim a seat in the U.S. Senate, eight days after the defeated Republican filed campaign paperwork that could have opened the way for him to run against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.

“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,” the 71-year-old said in a statement.

Perdue lost his reelection bid during a closely watched runoff last month against Democrat Jon Ossoff. Ossoff’s win, along with Warnock’s victory over Sen. Kelly Loeffler, resulted in Democrats taking control of the Senate for the first time since 2011.

Perdue had filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission on Feb. 15.

“I am confident that whoever wins the Republican primary next year will defeat the Democrat candidate in the general election for this seat...", Perdue said (my emphasis added).

Perdue sees himself as a 'no', not a winning 'who'.

However, whenever whoever says whatever wherever, assume the worst ever.

He came in 3rd behind Warnock and Loeffler. He will run against Warnock.
