On the Democratic side, the 2020 primary's unchallenged winner was Kevin Van Ausdal, an IT specialist and political novice who said he wanted "to bring civility back to Washington." At one point during the campaign, rattled by Greene's violent rhetoric and support from white supremacists and other extremists, Van Ausdal reportedly texted to his wife that he was "breaking down"; soon after, she asked for a divorce, and he had to move out. Within days Van Ausdal quit the race and returned to his home state of Indiana. By then, the window had closed for Democrats to find an alternative, as Georgia law says a candidate who withdraws fewer than 60 days before the election cannot be replaced on the ballot. That November, Van Ausdal still received a quarter of the vote despite having quit, and Greene was on her way to Washington.

I had no idea. She clearly could have lost if she had a real opponent in the race.

I haven't seen her yet.

Meanwhile, thank goodness it is only a two year term and I have my doubts that Greene can last even that long.

though I suppose it isn't all that surprising. She is so extreme and outrageous, I can't imagine too many people supporting her behavior. She has been rather quiet lately. I wonder if she's gotten the message or maybe the media has just gotten tired of covering her.
