'I've Never Seen Anything Like We're Witnessing' In Georgia
Politics Right Now
--- Quote ---
> Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms joins Andrea Mitchell to
discuss the Georgia runoff races, a potential role in the Biden
administration, and mask mandates. Mayor Bottoms says
"Leadership matters. When you have the President of the United
States urging people to wear masks, it makes a difference. In
GA, our positivity test rate is over 14%. We are headed in the
wrong direction."

Loeffler makes Warnock sound like a better choice than Warnock
makes himself sound. But does Warnock realize this?

> Georgia's campaign ads tell a tale of two states: Raphael
Warnock’s ads are bright and sunny, featuring the pastor
expounding on health care policy, telling his family story and
walking a puppy. But the majority of Kelly Loeffler’s spots take
a grimmer tone, attacking Warnock as “the most dangerous,
radical candidate in America.” In one ad, the camera pans across
a photo of Warnock, who is Black, darkened and superimposed over
footage of riots. “Saving the Senate,” the narrator intones, “is
about saving America … from that.”
>
> It could work. But with Georgia’s demographics shifting,
Loeffler’s approach — a familiar playbook tailored to older,
whiter voters who skew Republican — is just as likely to prove
out of step with a changing electorate. It’s pitting the
politics of the Old South, often characterized by thinly-veiled
racist rhetoric and maintenance of the predominantly white
status quo, against the New South’s increasingly young and
racially diverse constituency.
> ...
> Georgia's voters are changing. The state has seen an influx of
young people of color and college educated voters of all races,
which has boosted the population by nearly 10% over the last
decade, according to census data. Immigrants from Latin America,
Asia and Jamaica also account for these changes. The immigrant
population jumped 84 percent between 2010 and 2018, putting
Georgia on the fast track to become majority-minority by 2030.
Black, Latino and Asian voters in the once-Republican Atlanta
suburbs helped deliver the state for Joe Biden in November. In
the Peach State — and soon, strategists argue, the rest of the
South — demography is becoming destiny.
>
> Republicans, meanwhile, have focused on wooing the denizens of
the old Georgia. That approach was effective in 2001, when a
debate over the Confederate emblem from the state flag helped
cinch Republican political dominance in Georgia for more than 15
years. And it aided Brian Kemp’s gubernatorial campaign as
recently as 2018, when he boasted of “rounding up criminal
illegals” in his pickup truck. Now, Republicans are hoping that
their vilification of Warnock as a radical, dangerous figure
will be enough to sink his campaign.
> ...
> Georgia Democrats understood as early as 2013 that the state’s
fast-changing demographics made it ripe for a leftward shift,
particularly as the film industry set up camp in Atlanta.
Virginia, whose increased population of young people, college
graduates and people of color helped turn it blue in 2016 and
2020, is further proof to liberals that the South is still in
play; they have eyed Texas, North Carolina and Florida as viable
targets. As these populations grow, demographers predict they
will continue to shift blue.

> Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) has come under fire for posing for
a photo with a white supremacist. The selfie shows Loeffler
smiling next to Chester Doles, who has been associated with the
Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazi National Alliance. Doles marched
in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and was
sent to prison for the beating of a Black man in 1993, according
to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution report.
>
> After the photo was widely circulated on social media, the
Loeffler campaign rushed to her defense. ‘Kelly had no idea who
that was,’ Loeffler spokesperson Stephen Lawson told The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, ‘and if she had she would have kicked him
out immediately because we condemn in the most vociferous terms
everything that he stands for.'
>
> Loeffler’s opponent, Rev. Raphael Warnock, said over the
weekend that he did not believe Loeffler was unfamiliar with
Doles. In September, Doles was removed from a campaign event for
Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene that Loeffler attended. Greene
also posed for a photo with him months prior. 'While Kelly
Loeffler runs a campaign based on dividing and misleading
Georgians, she is once again trying to distance herself from
someone who is a known white supremacist and former KKK leader
who nearly beat a Black man to death,’ said Warnock campaign
spokesperson Michael Brewer.
>
> The race between Loeffler and Warnock is one of two crucial
elections happening right now in Georgia—the other is the runoff
between Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) and Democratic challenger Jon
Ossoff. The outcome of these elections will determine which
party controls the Senate and how much of President-elect Joe
Biden’s agenda can be accomplished. Early in-person voting is
already underway. If you are registered to vote in Georgia and
want to vote by mail, the deadline to request your ballot is
January 1, and your completed ballot must be received by
Election Day, January 5.
