The Republican Social gathering goes to search out out simply how massive a QAnon downside it has on Tuesday when a major runoff is determined in a northwest Georgia district, the place polls opened at 7 a.m. Jap time.
The favourite within the race within the 14th Congressional District is Marjorie Taylor Greene, a gun-rights activist who’s an unabashed supporter of QAnon, a fringe group that has been pushing a convoluted pro-Trump conspiracy idea. Lined up towards her is John Cowan, a doctor who is not any much less conservative or pro-Trump, however who doesn’t imagine QAnon’s idea that there’s a “deep state” of child-molesting Satanist traitors plotting towards the president. The winner is a close to lock to be elected to Congress within the overwhelmingly Republican district.

But its supporters are slowly changing into a political pressure with greater than a dozen candidates who’ve expressed a point of help for the idea, working for Congress as Republicans.
Most are anticipated to lose. But all current a recent headache for Republican leaders.
