Sen. David Perdue’s (R-GA) campaign announced on Thursday that the lawmaker would be going under quarantine after being exposed to COVID-19 as his runoff election on January 5 draws ever closer.
Purdue is a loathsome coward. He is also lazy. I wouldn’t put it past him to hideout the rest of the race and let his paid advertising do all the talking. Neither Purdue nor Loeffler has a compelling reason to be a Senator beyond gaining information to help them grow their portfolios.
If Perdue is following CDC guidelines, he’ll be in quarantine until January 9—meaning he’ll miss the certification of the EC vote, and the remainder of the current Congress.
And he’ll miss the Trump rally on Monday in Dalton, and can’t troll for votes anywhere in GA.
What’s next: Hawley has no plans to back down from his decision to object to the certification of the electoral votes — a ploy destined to fail on Jan. 6.
Hawley has been fundraising off of his planned objection to the election results
The senator was tested “regularly” for the virus, according to the campaign, and “the team will continue to follow CDC guidelines.”
Have the reactionaries fetishized testing or something?
Like with Donnie, somehow, they think the more it’s done, the less likely they are to get the 'rona, regardless of what their other behaviors are. (ed.)
