Until the 1970s, Georgia was virtually a one-party state, dominated by Rs. But as conservative voters joined the Republican Party, Democrats were focusing on cities such as Atlanta, nearby and Urban Decatur, and smaller cities with significant African-American populations.
Over the past few years, however, Trumpism has taken a turn for the worse and demographic change has taken a new turn for Democrats in Atlanta’s populous, vote-rich northern suburbs, such as Com and Gwinet Counties, which were once Republican powerhouses.
Hillary Clinton also held Cobb and Gwyneth Counties as she lost the state in 2016. This year, Mr. Biden won them again. And as it widened its gap in the state, Georgia’s most important second-cities August Augusta Gusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, and the counties populated in Athens નોંધપાત્ર saw significant increases in the number of Democratic voters.
In recent months, the epidemic has slowed the Georgia economy, with unemployment rising to 4.4 percent in September and 7.7 percent in August. Covid-19 cases are also on the rise; In the past week, an average of 2,242 new cases have been reported every day, an increase of 42 percent over the two-week average.
The new generation of Democratic candidates has surpassed the financial and social commitment of its ancestors to accept the growing demographic affiliation of black voters, college college-educated suburban women and the more politically engaged younger generation.
Although Mr. Biden’s victory was ultimately delivered by northern industrialized states such as Pennsylvania, his fragile margin in Georgia probably points to the future of the Democratic Party, which comes into clear view of future Senate influences.
Republicans will try to stop any Democratic move, hoping Mr. Biden’s dominant performance is more about Mr. Trump’s divisive candidacy than the GOP’s ning grip on the dynamic South. For Democrats, winning both seats would leave the parties on a 50-50 split in the Senate, with a tiebreaking vote with Vice President Kamala Harris.
