Stacey Abrams has trailed Republican Gov. Brian Kemp for much of the 2022 campaign. If she hopes to prevail in her much-anticipated rematch she’ll need to improve upon the coalition of first-time voters, young voters and Black voters.
Midterm elections have the ability to shift the power of the presidency. Here's how the midterms work and why they're so important.Stacey Abrams’s campaign has been up front that it needs to shore up support with Black voters overall.
"The old adage was, 'If you want to know what Black folks think, you ask Jesse Jackson.' No one bothered to ask us," said the 53-year-old dentist and real estate owner."No one bothered to talk to us." The shift could be a warning sign for national Democrats, who are trying to hold onto their slim majorities in Congress – eight seats in the House, and, in the 50-50 Senate, only the slender thread of Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote. With control of Congress hanging on so few seats, Democrats potentially slipping with a crucial voting bloc this year could have wide-ranging consequences not just for the party but for the whole nation.
Black Georgians said their political power has decreased since the last presidential election, according to a September survey by the NAACP and HIT Strategies, a public research company. “If you are a Republican strategist in Georgia, working for Walker or for Kemp, then you see the same opportunity,” Woodbury said. “Republicans have identified a new swing voter, and it's men of color.”of Georgia voters across race, gender and geography found voter turnout increased across every demographic between the 2018 and 2022 primaries, but that Black voters had smaller turnout increases.
“Generally, Democratic Party-aligned groups, when they say Black voters what they imagine is a churched Black woman over 50,” he said. As a result, 68% of those voters the group engaged turned out in 2020, including 72% in Georgia alone, according to the group. In 2018, Abrams racked up 95% of the Black vote, including 96% of Black women and 93% of Black men, according to the campaign.
