Another one bites the dust

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Every once in awhile we see a Democratic politician or pundit who opportunistically tries to get ahead by embracing Donald Trump. It never ends up going well for that person. The latest to try it was Georgia State Representative Vernon Jones, who set off a firestorm last week by endorsing Trump.

Things quickly got so ugly for Vernon Jones, his name began trending on Twitter, as he was widely condemned for climbing into bed with Donald Trump. Now the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Vernon Jones won’t seek reelection, and is in fact resigning immediately as of today. This puts Democratic candidate Rhonda Taylor in position to likely win the seat that Jones is vacating.
