Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) said Sunday that support for President Biden in Georgia will be boosted the more former President Trump talks.
CBS host Margaret Brennan asked Warnock on Face the Nation why enthusiasm for Biden has dropped among Black voters since the last election, pointing to CBSs recent polling. Warnock noted that its still early in the election but that he is confident voters will turn out for Biden in the state the president narrowly won in 2020.
And I can tell you as someone whose name has been on the ballot five times in less than three years, that the polls dont tell you nearly as much as the people do. I think that at the end of the day, Black voters, Georgia voters, will see that this is a binary choice, he said.
And the the more Donald Trump talks, the better our fortunes will be. And in the end, I believe that Georgia voters are going to do for Joe Biden what they did for me, he added.

I can't understand how they can vote in creeps like Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

Traveled through a few years ago and the Hershel Walker political signs were discouraging to say the least.
I love Sen. Warnock, speak softly but carry a big stick.

(5,401 posts)He has always spoken of things you should be scared of, and promised to magically make them all go away if you vote for him.
Now he is the one scared, with all the approaching legal cases and their ramifications.
The 'scare them' act doesn't work any more.

(182 posts)and I am not seeing the signs or bumper stickers that I saw in 2016 and 2020 for Trump. Marjorie Taylor Greene has a district in Northwest Georgia along the Alabama and Tennessee line that is rural and very red. The folks in that part of Georgia are very different than the rest of the state.

He was the one who told me, 'I can assure you that Deliverance didn't stray too far into fiction. That's why I joined the Air Force, so I could get out and stay out.'
