While the strategy seems to have given the Democrats an early lead, it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to counter a surge of Republican voters likely to wait until election day to show up at the polls, such as traditionally was the case.
“Democrats showed up for the early vote, and the clear emphasis on black voters has apparently borne fruit,” Brian Robinson, a Republican strategist in Georgia, said in a text message Wednesday. “But Republicans still have a lot of votes out there, especially in northern Georgia, where Trump is going on Monday. The IDP candidates will win properly among the voters on election day, so the bigger the turnout on Tuesday, the better the Republican chance. ‘
But Republicans have similar hopes for Mr. Trump during the general election, in which he fell by about 12,000 votes in Georgia. And it is unclear whether Mr. Trump during his visit to Dalton will eventually motivate his followers or cause more headaches for the Republicans.
Trump’s tweet in which he asked Kemp to resign already ordered the political spotlight on Wednesday. At a hastily convened news conference, Mr. Kemp does not comment on Mr. Trump did not address him directly, saying he would not be “distracted” from his goal to kill Mr. Perdue and Mrs. Loeffler to prefer. The governor also said he was too focused on responding to the coronavirus pandemic to engage in political infighting.
“That horse left the barn in Georgia,” he said. Kemp said about the victory of Mr. Praying in Georgia. He rejected the false allegations that the state election was tainted by fraud.
The way jockeys play will not only affect the balance of power in Washington, but also give the first hints on how both parties are navigating the political future towards Trump. Mr. Trump has proven to be a unique motivator of the Republican base, and the party needs to find another figure who is equally skilled in maximizing turnout among white conservatives.
Democrats are eager to prove that the success of Mr. Biden in November was not a fluke, and that voters want a robust liberal agenda rather than the Republican-led obstruction that defined Obama’s government.
