[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 65718, member: 35"] The Republican candidate in Georgia's special House election on Tuesday said she does not support a livable wage. “This is the difference between being a liberal and a conservative. I do not support a livable wage," Karen Handel said during a debate with Democrat Jon Ossoff. “What I support is making sure that we have an economy that is robust with low taxes and less regulation,” she added. Handel was responding to Ossoff's remark that Americans are having trouble "making ends meet" and deserve a livable wage if they are working 40 hours a week. Handel and Ossoff are facing off in a June 20 runoff to replace former GOP Rep. Tom Price, who left the House to become President Trump's secretary of Health and Human Services. The district has long been under GOP control, but polls have shown a tight race, with a number of them showing Ossoff in the lead. Election analysts say Ossoff winning would portend well for Democrats in 2018, when they will try to win back control of the House.
