Opinion: John Lewis and Stacey Abrams helped set off Georgia's Democratic earthquake
One of the great cliffhangers of the historic 2020 election has been if Democrat Joe Biden will win against President Donald Trump in the state of Georgia. While the final tally is still unknown, one conclusion is inescapable: Republicans can no longer count on Georgia as a bastion they dominate.
That may come as a surprise to many. After all, no Democratic presidential candidate has won the state since Bill Clinton in 1992. And both of its current US senators, as well as the governor, are devout Trump Republicans.
But many Georgia voters -- including myself -- are not surprised by this turn of events. In fact, some of us openly disagreed, when, on election night, data crunchers said Georgia was almost certain to go to Trump.
Not only does the state now appear poised to go to Biden, but both of its Senate seats are likely going to a January run-off. And if they do, the outcome could hold the key to which party controls the Senate in 2021.
