Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., told Newsmax he believes his U.S. Senate candidacy is the strongest among the three Republicans in the Georgia race since he carries no “baggage.”
Carter told “Bianca Across the Nation” on Tuesday, “I’m the one who can win. I don’t have any baggage unlike [Rep.] Mike Collins[, R-Ga.,] who is under federal investigation for misusing taxpayers’ funds [and] unlike Derek Dooley who’s never voted for President [Donald] Trump.”
Carter claimed he’s the only Republican in the field who has a chance against incumbent Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga.
“They have baggage. The focus will not be on Jon Ossoff’s voting record. It will be on their baggage,” he said.
Carter said he hopes conservatives in Georgia realize how big the stakes are in Tuesday’s voting. “I will be able to go toe-to-toe with him [Ossoff] and compare voting records with him.”
“I’ll be able to win,” he added. “And that’s what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to win.”
When asked about the absence of an endorsement in the race from Trump, Carter explained that’s basically already happened. “President Trump has referred to me as a MAGA warrior.”
“He knows how hard I work [and] how much I support him. He sees who’s on TV and who’s carrying our message and who’s delivering our message,” he explained.
