Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Reelection Bid Takes Big Turn

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s reelection campaign has taken a significant turn as Democrats increase their focus on her Georgia district.

As reported by The Center Square, close to $10 million has been spent on the race, with Greene accounting for the majority of that total. Her Democratic opponent, Shawn Harris, has raised just under $2 million.

Greene brought in $7.8 million, but despite Harris only securing a little over a quarter of that amount, both candidates had nearly equal funds left for their campaign efforts.

By the close of the third quarter on September 30, Harris had $857,000 remaining, while Greene had just over $1 million left in her war chest.

Greene has been urging her supporters to cast their ballots early, emphasizing, “We’ve got to keep up the momentum to send President Trump back to the White House.” She posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Don’t wait until November 5 to cast your ballot – lock it in now Georgia!”

In late September, Greene made a stark prediction on X regarding the 2024 presidential election and Donald Trump’s future.

“We have entered the most dangerous phase of the election,” she wrote, noting that Trump’s support is “rapidly accelerating” and adding, “I’m hearing it everywhere, even where I was not before. Democrats will do anything to stop him.”

She continued by suggesting extreme measures could be in play: “They’ve already been trying to put him in prison and literally assassinate him. What comes next? More assassination attempts? Will they delay the election? Be prepared.”

In light of two reported threats against Trump since mid-July, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino took to Facebook with a lengthy post, raising concerns about potential issues within the agency, even alluding to a possible “mole” inside the Secret Service or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Bongino shared his unease, saying, “I have to ask you all a really troubling question now that I promised you 10 years ago I would have called myself nuts for asking this.” After pausing, he asked, “Is there a mole inside the DHS or Secret Service?”

He pointed to instances of foreign nationals or entities attempting to infiltrate U.S. federal agencies. Bongino cited a case where two individuals were convicted for posing as federal agents in a scheme that duped the Secret Service.

Bongino elaborated, saying, “Folks, what happened yesterday in Secret Service jargon... Trump going to play golf at the golf course is what we call an OTR. Stands for an off-the-record movement, meaning it’s not on the official schedule, meaning very few people have access to it.”

“What’s even more curious,” he added, “is that the decision to golf was apparently made last minute. When the decision was made, probably fewer than 10 people knew about it. How’d this guy know to set up there?”

He continued, raising the possibility that the "mole" may not be a foreign agent directly, stating, “Don’t overcomplicate what doesn’t need to be overcomplicated.” Bongino suggested the possibility of a “honeypot” operation, questioning whether “someone in the Secret Service is involved in a relationship with someone who is not who they claim to be,” and speculated that such tactics are used by foreign adversaries like Iran, who he claimed might want to target Trump.
