Democrats say a home-state vice presidential candidate could help tip the state, along with its two Senate races and key campaigns for redistricting.
Georgia Democrats are close to tipping the state their way for the first time in years this November, and they want Joe Biden to give it a nudge with a home-grown running mate.
Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is running in a special election for Georgia’s other Senate seat held by appointed Sen. Kelly Loeffler, said a Georgian on the ticket “could only help,” though he and Ossoff noted that Biden “will have to decide who he thinks is the best candidate for him.” A boost in a particular state “tends to be the icing on the cake for a pick that you’re making for other reasons,” Goldstein said.
Republicans are already preparing for a fight to maintain their hold on the state. President Donald Trump’s campaign has started airing TV ads in the state, while Senate Leadership Fund and One Nation, the super PAC and nonprofit aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have reserved more than $20 million combined ahead of November.
Abrams’ narrow loss in the 2018 gubernatorial race opened eyes nationally to Democrats’ progress in Georgia, and she has since built a strong national profile, nearly matching the name recognition enjoyed by Harris and Elizabeth Warren in recent public polls, despite the fact that Abrams has not run for national office.
