'Blood in the water.' Why Republicans fear an upset in MTG's backyard.
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) -snip- Interviews with more than a dozen Republicans across the district show a party on edge — worried that Georgia’s fast-moving contest, voter fatigue, lingering unease over Trump, and — most of all — a fractured GOP field and a strong Democratic contender could put even this seat at risk.
Mickey Tuck, a local activist, embodies the unease. He’s torn between three or four of the leading GOP contenders and no fan of Greene, who he said did a “big disservice” to the district by abruptly resigning after feuding with Trump.
But he’s also convinced Democrats see an opening. In a free-for-all with so many names on the ballot, he said, they have a real shot at grabbing one of the runoff spots — and, however remote — an outside chance at landing both or even winning outright.
“Democrats smell blood in the water,” Tuck said. “And you know they’re going to come out and vote. We could very easily see a Democrat slip in there.”
