Doug Collins says he won’t run for office next election cycle

Former Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) announced Monday morning that he won’t be running for office this November.

Collins served Georgia’s 27th district for one term, and Georgia’s 9th district for two terms. But in 2020 he opted to run for the Senate. He lost in the primary election to former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), who then lost to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.). Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) replaced Collins in the House.

“During my time in Congress, I was able to accomplish a great deal for the folks that I served,” Collins said in a tweet.

Now, he plans to remain involved in politics. “I do plan on staying involved in shaping our conservative message to help Republicans win back the house and the Senate,” the former congressman said.

Democrats Worry Continued Fundraising by Kamala Harris is Hurting Them With Voters

Published

The 2024 election has been over for weeks now, but Kamala Harris is still fundraising.

Despite raising and spending more than a billion dollars in this election cycle, Harris ended her campaign with more than $20 million dollars in debt. Even more shocking, the DNC laid off a massive number of staffers and didn’t pay senior campaign workers at the end.

Now Harris is still fundraising in a desperate attempt to retire her campaign debt and other members of the party believe this is very damaging.

Politico reported:

Dems fear Harris’ continued fundraising ‘erodes trust’

The emails themselves don’t mention debt, instead citing the organization’s support for recount efforts in close races and legal challenges. And the Harris campaign denies that the campaign or affiliated joint fundraising committees had outstanding debts on Election Day, and says they won’t report debts owed in future Federal Election Commission reports due in December.

But the fundraising appeals have still continued, and some Democrats fear she may be compounding the party’s problems with the tone of some of her appeals — damaging relationships with online donors who have long powered the party. In just a few months, the vice president built up a record-breaking fundraising operation. She raked in funds from millions of online donors within the first week of her candidacy, and continued to hold fundraising events well into the fall. Now those same donors who helped her raise more than $1.4 billion are among the people being asked to give more. The emails still come two or three times a day.

This is going to be a serious issue for Democrats going forward. Their own donors don’t trust them anymore and who can blame them?
