Vernon Jones, a Democratic state representative in Georgia, announced Thursday he would not step down after earlier saying he would due to fallout from endorsing President Donald Trump on April 14.
A Democratic state representative in Georgia who endorsed President Donald Trump and said he would resign his office on Wednesday reversed course one day later and announced he intends to stay in office to not allow his party to"bully" him into"submission."
Rep. Vernon Jones had announced he was endorsing Trump on April 14. Jones, who is African American, explained his decision on Twitter, claiming that Democrats take black voters for granted while Trump has"done more for black Americans than any other president in modern history." He said he would not finish his term on Wednesday but changed his mind the next day.
"Yesterday, I announced my intentions to resign from my office," Jones tweeted Thursday."But shortly thereafter, the outpour of support I received was too great for me to ignore. I will not allow the Democrats to bully me into submission. I will not let them win. I will NOT resign." Yesterday, I announced my intentions to resign from my office. But shortly thereafter, the outpour of support I received was too great for me to ignore.I will NOT resign.
