Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) confirmed he plans to resign his seat at the end of December. The 74-year-old said “mounting health challenges” stemming from Parkinson’s disease informed his decision
The 74-year-old said “mounting health challenges” stemming from Parkinson’s disease informed his decision, adding he also had surgery this week to remove a growth on his kidney. In July, Isakson fractured four ribs and tore his rotator cuff after he fell in his D.C. apartment.
“It goes against every fiber of my being to leave in the middle of my Senate term, but I know it’s the right thing to do on behalf of my state.” “With now two Senate seats up for election in 2020, it has never been clearer that the path for Democratic victory runs through Georgia,” the Democratic Party of Georgia said in a statement. “We are the battleground state, and Georgia Democrats are ready to fight and deliver both the Senate and the presidency for Democrats across the country in 2020.”
That may be a futile effort, however, as a spokesperson for Abrams said Wednesday she’s devoted to an effort to fight voter suppression and will not be running.
