Former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) on Tuesday ruled out a Senate bid in next year’s midterm elections, somewhat soothing concerns of a potentially contentious Republican primary in 2022.
In an email to supporters, Perdue said that his decision to forego another Senate campaign was “personal” rather than political. But the announcement came a day after former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) opened the door to a rematch against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in 2022.
“After much prayer and reflection, Bonnie and I have decided that we will not enter the race for the United States Senate in Georgia in 2022,” Perdue said. “This is a personal decision, not a political one. 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.”
“As we saw in my race in November, Georgia is not a blue state. The more Georgians that vote, the better Republicans do. These two current liberal US Senators do not represent the values of a majority of Georgians.”

Big mistake not to run. Loeffler is a fraud. That’s why she lost. She is completely insincere. A useless Rino of the worst kind. Perdue is head and shoulders above this broad.
Is she really the best the Republicans can offer?
Pathetic
Hopefully Jim Jordan (?) will run. He will for sure win.
Jordan lives in Ohio. This race is in Georgia.
Anyway, Jim said he will not be running for the Senate in Ohio.
