ATLANTA (CBS46) -- The never-ending saga surrounding Georgia House member Vernon Jones (D-Lithonia) took another turn Thursday afternoon when he announced he had changed his mind and would not be resigning his office after all.

Representative Jones made news Wednesday saying he was resigning his office one week after endorsing President Donald Trump for re-election. Thursday afternoon, Jones released a video on Twitter saying he received so much support for his stand, "was too great for me to ignore."

"I will not let the Democrats to bully me into submission," Jones said. "I will not let them win. I will NOT resign. (emphasis his) #MAGA"

Jones said in the video, "I'm going to do everything I can to help Donald J. Trump get re-elected because he's the man for this job."
