  • GA Dems Seek Candidate

    It seems that the transformation of Georgia politics is compelte, i.e., the switch from a heavily Democratic state to one in which Republicans have the upper-hand in statewide voting. First the 2024 brought the first post-reconstruction Governor and Senator to the state, now the Democrats are having troubling fielding a strong candidate for next year's elections:

    Former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young is keeping Democrats guessing about his plans for a Senate bid, telling congressional Democrats Thursday that he is "in the process" of preparing a campaign one day after close friends said he was leaning against running.

    [...]

    Two other potential candidates -- Michelle Nunn, the 36-year-old daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn, and Rep. Jim Marshall, a freshman Democrat, have said they would not run if Young enters the race.

    Meanwhile, the Republican field is already crowded:

    four Republicans, including Reps. Mac Collins and Johnny Isakson, are already campaigning.
