AJC: Georgia’s Isakson to resign from Senate at end of 2019
Republican U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson said Wednesday he was stepping down from office at the end of 2019 as he struggles with Parkinson’s disease, setting up two elections for U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2020.
This was an unexpected move that could perhaps be a new opportunity for Democrat Stacey Abrams to run for Senate.
WHOA: This could be a major boon to Democratic chances of flipping the Senate if confirmed. There would be a 2020 special election for the remaining 2 years of Isakson's term #GAsen https://t.co/6Ipao71GYm
