The race for the Republican nomination to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., continues to focus on President Donald Trump and his policies.

That’s likely because the president has not endorsed a Republican in the primary election for Georgia’s 11th Congressional District.

Loudermilk, who announced he wouldn’t be running for reelection in February, has served in his seat for over a decade.
