GOP tries to get Georgia Dem to drop out of race

 

POLITICO reports that “Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock has made his faith a defining element of his candidacy. The GOP aims to make it his fatal flaw. Republicans are taking to the airwaves and social media to frame the pastor as a radical and tool of the ‘extremist’ left.”   This is a big problem. With a Senate win in Alaska, Republicans are now just one seat away from keeping their control of the Senate -- and now they’re trying to intimidate Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock to drop out of the race with a vicious smear campaign.   There’s only one hope left for Democrats to gain control over the Senate, and it involves Warnock staying in -- and defeating Kelly Loeffler.   Republican Kelly Loeffler is the richest member of the Senate, especially after she committed insider trading after getting privileged information on the coronavirus. She wasn’t elected to her office, but instead appointed by Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp.   She’s currently locked in a runoff battle with Raphael Warnock. He’s working hard to make blue inroads in Georgia -- and to help us retake the Senate.   There are millions of Democrats out there who probably think all the voting is over. But the fate of Congress rests on this final contest -- and right now, no one is giving -- because hardly anyone even knows about it.   You’re an engaged supporter. You know politics is about making life better for people, not just voting once every four years on Election Day. We want Warnock to hurdle over the finish line so Democrats can retake Congress and start helping the American people -- but first we need your help.   Could you please chip in whatever you can to support Raphael Warnock’s Senate bid, remove his unelected Republican opponent from power, prevent Republicans from snagging the easiest seat they have in Georgia, and give Democrats more control over the future of our country?   We cannot thank you enough for your support. Thank you for using your power to make for a better future.   Progressive Majority Progressive Majority PAC is leading the fight against Trump's dangerous and divisive agenda by helping elect progressive Democrats to Congress and protecting the gains we made in the midterms.
