Although bullish about winning a Senate runoff election, Georgia Democrats say they are taking nothing for granted in this right-leaning purple state.
, there were reports for months of a “red wave” of Republican nominees winning in this year’s midterm elections that failed to materialize altogether, epitomizing the lack of sure bets in any statewide race.Residents of Georgia — specifically those in metro Atlanta versus rural Georgia — remain divided on their support for either candidate.
While waiting in a two-hour line to vote at Fulton County’s Ponce De Leon Library on Friday, Atlanta resident Rex Patton called Walker’s entire campaign “pathetic.” Other voters expressed abortion rights and voting rights as key issues driving them to the ballot box once again. “Reproductive rights are important to me,” said Sollenberger. “It’s simultaneously a relief and disappointing that there was a runoff at all. I’m glad someone wasn’t elected that was against these rights, but it’s disappointing that less than 50% voted for Warnock last month.”
