Georgia’s election defines the control of the United States Senate and the Borough population has been targeted

Washington DC – The control of the Senate of the United States – which marks the presidency of Joe Biden, including on topics about Puerto Rico – decides the March in the second volatile in Georgia that he has initiated the interest in the Latin community of this state and has salvaged the island.

The Democrats Jon Ossoff, a documentary producer who in 2017 was about to win an election in Congress, and the rapporteur Raphael Warnock, pastor of the Iglesia Bautista Ebenezer in Atlanta to whom was elected the icon of civil rights Martin Luther King , son of Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.

In the general election, 49.7% of the votes were lost, compared to Ossoff’s 47.9%. A third candidate from the Libertarian Party won 2.3%. Warnock, for its part, finished first in the first round with 32.9% of the vote.

In a contingent with 21 aspirants, Loeffler – who was named to replace Johnny Isakson – led second with 25.9%.

When tens of millions of voters cast their ballots, a trial that ended on December 31, the polls recently received tens of thousands of voters.

“The two (Democrats) have a good opportunity to win”, said Democratic congresswoman Luis Gutiérrez, who in December has been campaigning in Georgia in favor of Ossoff and Warnock, including Democratic congressman Hank Johnson.

During its activities in Georgia, which sought to mobilize the Hispanic vote and other communes, Gutierrez met with Ossoff, who promised to support the Puerto Rican state in its support of the project presented by Alex and his congressman Alex Ogresc in favor of winning the Congress with a Status Convention dedicated to convening the governor of the island.

Gutiérrez is currently seeking a response from Ossoff, hoping to clarify its response to a free determination process, according to a local referendum on which 52.5% responds to the proposal that Puerto Rico has 51 EE status .UU.

“It is clear that it is in favor of Nydia Velázquez’s proposal,” Gutiérrez indicated.

Although Ossoff spoke out in favor of the state for the island, the theme resonated a little in the state, said Republican Javier Ortiz, who was part of Donald Trump’s Transition Committee and held his main residency in Atlanta.

Pero, Ortiz says that “Ossoff’s prospect of wanting to convert to Puerto Rico and Washington DC in states is part of Georgia’s part and an ultra-queer agenda”.

Perdue and Loeffler, for example, presented Ossoff and Warnock as “radicals.”

Mientras, Ossoff and Warnock discussed the late response from Republican senators to checking the most recent economic estimate projects raised to $ 2,000, and denounced potential ethical conflicts by Republican senators.

Georgia’s scans in Senado are the ones that will define the November 3 election nightmare. The Republicans have secured 50 of the 100 escorts, by which they can win a Senate majority.

With the victories of Warnock and Ossoff, the Democrats – holding the decisive vote of the Vice President-elect, Kamala Harris-, lograrian to control the Senate. Although in the Senate requires 60 votes to normally approve medidas, the party that controls the mayor decides the agenda.

The effect of puertorriqueños

After a very close election and debate in Georgia, the presidential candidate Biden won for 12,000 votes, the candidates could have voted down the ballot box. And the Boric vote is no exception.

Although representing a small portion of the state’s Spanish vote, some 90,000 Puerto Ricans reside in Georgia and have no voting rights yet, there are no exact numbers to register and vote in the November 3 election.

In Georgia, about 920,000 Hispanics live, mostly of Mexican and Central American descent. A third of the population of the state is African American.

In terms of voters, according to Pew Hispanic Research, 53% are Hispanic white, 30% African American, 4% Hispanic and 3% of Asian descent. The race or ethnicity of 9% of the electorate is declining.

“It’s an election of small margins. We are committed to making the Latin community vote ”, indicates the Puerto Rican Frederick Vélez, National Director of the Civic Participation of the Spanish Federation, at a Saturday night distribution at the Marrietta’s Theater in the Square and a parade with the reigns that Atlanta has and Boricua Vota.

The former Puerto Rican leader Pablo Cáceres, director of the United for Progress campaign, joins the United Here union, and the Alliance for Progress and ‘My Girl’ organizations, topped 250,000 posts for this second round, with the incentive proposal to electorado hispano to vote.

“We remember different behaviors”, including Cobb, Marietta and LaFayette, among others, with Cáceres.

The independent support groups for the Democratic candidates have moved to Georgia with artists such as Eva Longoria, America Ferrero and Kate del Castillo. The actor Osvaldo Ríos takes part in the fin de semana de otros eventos.

Cáceres thinks that between the poor Puerto Rican politicians, only Gutierrez has the idea to campaign for the Democrats.

Melissa Rivera, a Puerto Rican who has been living with Cobb since she was three years old, says that her “community is creeping” and that the toca in the yard is another boric that is “more confusing”.

In his message to the electorate, Rivera signaled that he supported the importance of the Democrats, who had a majority in the lower house, to monitor the Senate in order to follow the agenda of President-elect Biden.

The president-elect has promised to promote parity for Puerto Rico in accessing programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, Food Assistance and the Supplementary Infringement (SSI), initiatives that tend to increase the chances of success with a Democratic majority.

It can be powdered with some legislation to save the promise.

With respect to status, Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has declined to comment on any proposal in favor of Puerto Rico, while Democratic leader Charles Schumer is considering a November 3 referendum. in that the 52.5% of the votes obtained by the state confirm the division that exists in the island on this subject.

Pero, Biden, of all modes, is compromised by a status process that is prevalent for the federal government and in which participants represent all the status alternatives.

Like President Donald Trump, the elective president, Joe Biden, will be running a campaign in Georgia by his candidates in the run-up to the final vote. Vice President Michael Pence, for his part, is expected to be in Georgia.
