Newt Gingrich's spokesman confirmed Friday that the former presidential candidate and U.S. House member from Georgia will not be a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
Hammond tweeted the news following Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss' announcement that he will not be running for re-election in 2014. Gingrich had previously indicated he wasn't interested in the seat.
Democrats are already expressing optimism about the open seat race.
Guy Cecil, executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, released the following statement Friday:
Georgia will now offer Democrats one of our best pick-up opportunities of the cycle. There are already several reports of the potential for a divisive primary that will push Republicans to the extreme right. Regardless, there?s no question that the demographics of the state have changed and Democrats are gaining strength. This will be a top priority.
