Lucy McBath abandons exploratory committee for Georgia governor's race

Four-term Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) suspended the exploratory committee she created for a gubernatorial run amid her husband’s ailing health.

“It’s a hard decision. It’s a really difficult decision to make. And right now, I can’t make the decision on whether or not to run for governor,” McBath told the Atlantic Journal-Constitution. “I’ve always said my priorities should be where I’m supposed to be, and that’s helping my husband.”
