DALTON, GA — Sitting by himself, Carl Hunter enjoyed his breakfast — an omelette served with toast and hashbrowns — at the Perfect Cup, a neighborhood nook that patrons say serves some of best soup in downtown Dalton, Georgia. Early voting just started down the street at the Whitfield County Courthouse, where residents in a staunchly conservative congressional district are replacing former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican once thought of as President Donald Trump ‘s chief sidekick in Congress. “I didn’t like her personality, I just thought she was way overboard,” Hunter told USA TODAY. “I don’t know how to describe it, but I just wasn’t happy with her. I’m sure she had some good points.” An 87-year-old Army veteran, Hunter moved to Dalton in the late 1950s to work in the rural community’s dominant carpet industry. He said it would take some time for him to sort through the 16 candidates hoping to replace Greene, but her “brash” demeanor won’t be missed. “I didn’t feel like she was good for the job,” Hunter added.
