'Not dropping out': Kelly Loeffler vows to stay in Senate race against Doug Collins

Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler said she had no plans to drop out of the contest to keep her Senate seat despite a stock-trading controversy.

"Not only am I not dropping out, but I'm gonna win,” the Republican told Politico. “And no one's going to intimidate me into thinking that that's the right course for our party, for our state, for our country. I'm working hard to help reelect the president. I'm working hard to win my seat and keep the Senate in Republican hands.”

Loeffler has had a rocky few months since being appointed to replace Sen. Johnny Isakson, who resigned in December 2019 due to health concerns.

Loeffler was one of several senators accused of insider trading ahead of the coronavirus-induced stock market drop, although she maintains that she did nothing wrong. The senator's office says she has turned over all relevant financial documents to the FBI, Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Senate Ethics Committee.

A timeline is a display of a list of events in chronological order. It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labelled with dates paralleling it...

But thats not important right now.

It’s a “jungle primary” (on election day) and a runoff.

Rats are splitting their vote also, very possible it’s Collins vs. Loeffler in the runoff.

If you’re working hard then you should have known better than to make a sleazeball move like that.

November 3rd. If nobody gets over 50% of the vote then there will be a runoff with the top two vote-getters on January 5th.

It certainly is possible. But polls seem to be indicating that the runoff will be between Collins and either Warnock or Lieberman. There's also a big undecided vote that is the wildcard.

Do we think Collins can get 50% in the primary if she does drop out?

In any case I’m not worried about Collins being able to beat the rat in a runoff.

I saw polling that indicated she and Collins might get the #1 and #2 slots for the runoff.

They'll be no runoff. Collins gets 50% + 1.
