Man who spoiled Georgia US Senate race for Perdue, Ossoff to run for governor in 2022
Shane Hazel, the Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate who prevented both Republican U.S. Sen. David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff from winning one of Georgia’s two U.S. Senate elections in November, said on Wednesday he is running for governor in 2022.
Hazel also said he is not endorsing either Perdue or Ossoff in the ongoing U.S. Senate runoff election that ends Jan. 5, and he further doesn’t support either candidate in the other runoff Senate election. In that election, Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler is trying to fend off Democrat Raphael Warnock.
It’s unknown if a Hazel endorsement would have helped any of the major party candidates in the runoff elections, which are expected to be close. Experts have said the results likely will depend on partisan turnout, and not on persuading undecided or third-party voters to their causes.
Hazel's announcements were made on his “Radical with Shane Hazel,” audio and video podcast. The show streamed live on Wednesday night on Twitter’s Periscope video streaming service.
