GA-SEN: Senate Democrats to spend $6M to mobilize voters to boost Ossoff, Warnock
A group aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer unveiled a $6 million effort in Georgia geared toward mobilizing voters of color to back Democratic U.S. Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
Majority Forward said Thursday it plans to partner with America Votes and national and local left-leaning organizations for a “sustained and integrated mobilization program” for the two candidates challenging Republican U.S. Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
The program will finance digital, direct mail and radio spots to urge left-leaning voters to devise a voting plan for the November election. It’s aimed at strengthening a framework ahead of a likely January runoff in one – and possibly both – of the races.
“Regardless of whether these races are decided on Election Day or go to a run-off in January, we are laying the groundwork now to ensure voters know what’s at stake in this election and have the resources they need to vote blue,” said J.B. Poersch, the group’s president.

The Jungle Election, for the senate seat currently held by Loeffler, is a crazy race with a huge number of candidates, including Senator Loeffler-R GA, Rep. Doug Collins-R GA, Raphael Warnock-D Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, and Joe Lieberman’s son who is running as a Democrat, in addition to Libertarian and other 3rd party candidates.
To win in November, one candidate must get 50% + 1 vote, or else there will be a January 2021 runoff. Republicans turn out for runoffs in Georgia. Democrats have not, in the past.
I think Warnock can win in November if all GA Democrats get behind him and ignore Lieberman. There is a huge power struggle in the GA GOP. Gov. KKKemp is backing his Senatorial appointee, Loeffler, but the Republican speaker of the GA General Assembly is backing Rep. Doug Collins.
I live in Georgia, and I’d never heard of Lieberman before. I think he’s in the race to spoil the Democrats chance to win. His name recognition could get the votes of uniformed Democratic voters who remember his father on the Gore-Lieberman ticket, but don’t know that former Senator Lieberman is an enemy of Democrats, and who don’t know anything about his son.
VOTE WARNOCK!
