The lack of intervention from national Republicans despite their public rebukes of Greene has frustrated and baffled GOP lawmakers, strategists and donors, who worry Greenes victory would be a black eye for the party at a time when they are still grappling with a national reckoning over racial inequality.

If Greene, a vocal QAnon conspiracy theorist and businesswoman, earns the partys nomination in the deeply conservative district in northwest Georgia, she is almost guaranteed to win a seat in the House.
