Loeffler meets with McConnell amid speculation of another Senate run
By Mychael Schnell - 06/16/21 04:47 PM EDT

Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) met with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday amid speculation that she could mount another bid against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) next year.

The meeting, first reported by CNN and confirmed to The Hill by a person familiar, comes after Loeffler in February said a 2022 bid against Warnock is “certainly on the table.”

Loeffler was ousted from her Senate seat in January after Warnock won a runoff race by a narrow 2 points. She served in the Senate for slightly more than a year after replacing former Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) in late 2019.

Warnock is on the ballot again in 2022, when he will vie for a full six-year term.

Asked by CNN on Wednesday about another Senate run, Loeffler said, “I haven’t ruled it out.”

And asked why she was meeting with McConnell, she told the network, “I’m updating the leader on the situation in Georgia.”

Kelly Loeffler could become Georgia's answer to Martha McSally...

McConnell said he was gonna vet GOP candidates to make sure we only nominate winners, so this makes sense. I'm sure he'll give Loeffler his seal of approval. /s

Hopefully McTurtle sends her packing.  We need prospective winners, not known losers. How about Herschel Walker?

Walker is a TRUMP guy and no RINO. All China Mitch wants are RINOS he controls and the sad part 80% will get elected or reelected. And those are those that wonder why the country is in the mess it is in. Short ANSWER: Republican party

Loeffler would still be in the Senate if she had taken a stand against election fraud in Georgia.
