Georgia doesn’t need six more years of Raphael Warnock in the Senate, and the balance of power depends on Republicans winning this race.
Now that we’re as certain as we can be that Herschel Walker is in a runoff with Sen. Raphael Warnock for Georgia’s Senate seat, we’re in for a short, nasty month of more ads and more campaigning in the Peach State. It looks like a repeat of the 2020 Senate runoff, and one of the contestants is even the same.
We wound up with Warnock in the first place because of one factor: depressed GOP voter turnout. It’s a fact that Republican voters refused to turn up for the runoff in January 2021. Donald Trump, still sore from his electoral loss, discouraged his followers from going to the polls, and Democrat groups fed that beast with billboards that said something to the effect of, “You know your vote isn’t going to count, so why bother?”
We can’t afford for that to happen again.
