Unlikely? How about impossible?The Democratic candidate challenging Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, a controversial figure who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory, for a Georgia House seat abruptly ended his campaign on Friday, announcing that he is leaving the state.
In a statement, Kevin Van Ausdal attributed his decision to withdraw from the race to “family and personal reasons,” but did not elaborate on what had prompted him to end his campaign.
“I am heartbroken to announce that for family and personal reasons, I cannot continue this race for Congress," Van Ausdal said. "After lengthy discussions with my team, attorneys, party officials, and others, the answer was clear, stepping aside would be best for voters.
[...]
It’s unlikely that the Georgia Democratic Party will be able to replace Van Ausdal on the ballot in November. Georgia state law holds that a vacancy for a party nomination due to a candidate’s withdrawal can’t be filled within 60 days of an election. The Nov. 3 election is 53 days away.

Was it necessary to have such lengthy discussions with his team, etc., that they were resolved one week too late?We need a little more information on Mr. Van Ausdal.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
