Georgia Democratic state Rep. Vernon Jones said he is resigning from his seat in the state legislature after he endorsed President Donald Trump’s reelection.

Jones told The Rashad Richey Morning Show that he won’t leave the Democratic Party because “somebody’s got to be in there to hold them accountable ... to how they are treating black people [and] root out the bigotry,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper.
