Interesting piece in the WaPo about the slow movement of Georgia towards Democrats during our time in Trumpistan. Unlike the NYTimes version of this story that would only focus on the Jasper Republicans, this piece dives into the Newton Democrats - especially a younger woman, a nurse, who switched from Reagan Republican to Independent to firm Biden voter.
The Senate elections in about a month are critically important to the health of the nation. If Democrats win both seats, Biden will be able to confirm judges, pick a Cabinet he wants and reshape certain aspects of the government via reconciliation. McConnell won't be able to protect his caucus from taking unpopular votes on bills that pass the House, as he does now.
Trump is actively shitting all over Republicans in Georgia and claiming the election is rigged. Trump voters - and there are a lot of them - might sit the run-off out in protest. God, I hope so.
