Watching the MSNBC election night team coverage. Joy Reid related voters shared their thoughts with her saying โHerschel Walker was a humiliation to Black peopleโ and the Party putting him forward โmade it look like they were mocking Black people.โ I agree one hundred percent.

Big benefit of having 51 D senators for the @WhiteHouse is that Democrats will control committees in the Senate which means they can move through judicial nominees (without potential for process shenanigans) and also makes it harder for one senator to be too all powerful

Mark Kelly & Raphael Warnock were two of Dems' best results in 2020โbut both needed to run again within 2 years since their first wins were specials.
Now they'll both be around till 2028.

Sandra & John Jackson both voted for @ReverendWarnock. Sandra cited Warnock's support for abortion rights: "I'm 66. I'm not having any babies. But I have grandbabies.

Reminder: a big reason Dems have been able to crack Georgia is it's now a really urban state. Metro ATL alone made up 59% of GA's vote on 11/8.
By contrast, Dems continue to struggle in NC, where the Charlotte/Research Triangle metros combined for just 42% of the state's vote.

About last night..
I do appreciate the petty of the election officials in the counties surrounding Atlanta.
How they wait until all the Red Counties have done their results…
and, then, they go…
” I don’t think so..”
and BAM…drop their results..
LOL
I will never forget in 2020, going to sleep, thinking of Georgia, and then checking Twitter as soon as I woke up, and folks were like FULTON dropped…
and put Biden ahead…
I remember tearing up as I read it.
I want the NH and
IA apologists to see THE WORK put in down South by
Democrats.
NH and IA are crying about TOURISM.
TOURISM. While Southern Dems are working for OUR RIGHTS.
One of the many reasons you donโt matter
anymore.

Metro Atlanta poses a huge problem for Republicans in 2024 and beyond.
These counties keep getting bluer every election. And given that much of the shift is because of population growth and diversification, it may end up being quite durable.

Nominating Herschel Walker is maybe the greatest insult to Black voters in American history. Georgia Republicans picked a Black person with name recognition off the shelf as a response to Raphael Warnock being Black. Nothing more. They may as well have picked Flava Flav.

Folks, please stop with the grousing and complaining that Warnock didnโt win by a big margin. Itโs the south. White voters in the south are dead set against Democrats. No Democrat is going to win any southern state in a rout. Take the win and be happy about it.

Last numbers I saw this AM had Rev Warnock ahead by 95K. That is a comfortable margin especially in a purple-ish state in the South. Yes, based on candidate quality it should have been a landslide. I can’t explain why so many people vote for bad candidates, but I’ll take the win and move on.
The good people of GA came through for us AGAIN.
Now the people of AZ need to get rid of Sinema and elect a real Democrat in 2024. Lots of work ahead.
I agree. There is a real Democrat that can be put in that slot.
