[Washington Examiner] Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday edged out five GOP challengers in a primary election that tested the Republican firebrand and former President Donald Trump's influence in Georgia.
Greene beat out her closest challenger, Jennifer Strahan, in the crowded primary contest for Georgia's 14th Congressional District, several television networks projected.
The other Republicans in the race were Erin Cunningham, Charles Lutin, James Haygood, and Seth Synstelien.
Greene spent the weekend leading up to Tuesday's primary slamming President Joe Biden. During a "Bikers for Trump" event for former Sen. David Perdue, Greene was brought onstage to chants of "Let's go Brandon!" — a shorthand insult to the president.
She said she felt "great" about her chances Tuesday despite a growing anti-Greene sentiment in her district. |
