Karen Handel is the incumbent, who defeated Jon Ossoff by four percentage points in a special election last year that drew national attention and set a record as the most expensive House race.

Ms. McBath, through her strong connection to the Black Lives Matter movement, may be able to draw higher black turnout than Mr. Ossoff received. She may also be able to benefit from higher black turnout related to Stacey Abrams’s run for Georgia governor.

In her stump speech, a recent Times article said, Ms. McBath “recounts the 2012 murder of her son, Jordan Davis, a black teenager who was shot and killed by a white man at a gas station when the 17-year-old refused to lower the volume of the rap music playing in his car.”
