GA-14: Potential Move to Challenge Rep. Taylor Greene: Right wing gadfly activist and two-time Florida congressional candidate Laura Loomer (R) is citing an online voluntary response website poll that supposedly reveals a 75% factor who wants to see Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Rome) challenged for the 2024 Republican nomination because she supported Speaker McCarthy’s debt ceiling bill. Ms. Loomer characterizes Rep. Greene as a “Primary professional conwoman,” for supporting the debt crisis bipartisan compromise. She also states that she can move to Georgia and run because she has proven herself as a “robust campaign fundraiser.”
While Ms. Loomer may well have raised over $3 million for two campaigns, she would need to improve her vote-getting ability in order to unseat Rep. Greene. First, she has already run in two different Florida districts, against Rep. Lois Frankel (D-West Palm Beach), where she lost by 20 percentage points, and in a primary challenge against Rep. Dan Webster (R-Clermont/The Villages). In this latter 2022 race, she fell seven full percentage points from unseating the Republican incumbent. PA-10: Ex-Statewide Candidate Won’t Again Challenge Rep. Scott Perry: Former Pennsylvania State Auditor and 2020 congressional candidate Eugene DePasquale (D) will not be returning to the federal campaign wars in 2024. Viewed as six-term Rep. Scott Perry’s (R-Dillsburg/Harrisburg) toughest possible Democratic opponent – the 2020 race ended 53-47% in Rep. Perry’s favor – Mr. Pasquale late last week announced that he will return to the statewide theatre in an open bid for Attorney General. Rep. Perry already has Democratic opposition for 2024. Shamaine Davis, his 2022 opponent who he defeated 56-44%, returns for a re-match. Carlisle School Board member Rick Coplen, a retired Army officer who lost the 2022 Democratic primary to Ms. Davis, is also returning to run again. With Mr. DePasquale out of the House picture, Rep. Perry, who voted against the McCarthy debt ceiling compromise, will again begin as a favorite for re-election. Comments are closed.
