19. Sorry, but no, there is not anyone out there who can defeat Greene.

May 2022

Her district isn't competitive and hasn't been for years. No Republican has received less than 70% of the vote since 2012:

2012: 73%
2014:100%
2016: 100%
2018: 76.5%
2020: 74.7%

Every Republican candidate for president or senator has gotten more than 70 percent of the vote in the district.

The only way Greene was going to be ousted was if, as was the case with Cawthorn, the repubs turned on her and voted for a primary opponent. Which clearly didn't happen.

In 2020, Greene won the republican primary with 40 percent of the vote and then got nearly 75% of the vote in the general. I don't care how good the Democratic candidates ads are, this is an unwinnable district -- has been for years.

Money spent on a Democratic opponent is wasted and would be far better directed to Warnock and Abrams.
