Former Democratic state Rep. Vernon Jones loudly spurned his party and supported Donald Trump's 2020 reelection campaign. Then Jones turned around and cast a Democratic Party ballot in Georgia's presidential primary.
Public election records show that Jones, who is now a Republican candidate for Congress, used a Democratic ballot in the 2020 primary, meaning he couldn't have voted for Trump, who was on the Republican ballot.
As Trump arrives for a Saturday rally, Jones is trying to shake off his long history as a Democrat and prove himself in a crowded Republican field for the conservative 10th Congressional District that covers part of east Georgia.
