I will assume that he is giving up the race for the usual reason, the money wasn’t forthcoming.

It’s understandable that a black politician desires Trump’s return to office, and the policies Trump favors being on the campaign platforms of other candidates.

Self loathing is the new black.

Apparently, it’s kinda like the one in the original Star Trek episode, where discipline was enforced with the ‘agony booth.’

If Jones is the only R candidate in the 10th GA district, it’s worth running a democrat candidate there, because I’m pretty sure not even his own mother would vote for Vern.

Jones added that in addition to withdrawing his gubernatorial bid, he is endorsing Kemp challenger and former senator David Perdue ®.

“Jones went on to say that he has donated his gonads to DFG and all of his personal assets to the RNC.”

She’s going to tire of sitting in Congress doing nothing, and Trump will give her a cabinet position or Ambassadorship in his second term. Senate confirmation won’t be an issue, since the nation is effing insane and will likely hand Trump a majority in both houses of Congress in the same election.
