Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and other Democrats in Georgia are looking to use anger over a looming ban on abortion to attract suburban college-educated White women and men -- a block of voters that could prove pivotal in the state’s high-stakes elections in November.
Republican Governor Brian Kemp, who is seeking re-election, faces a rematch against Abrams, a nationally known voting-rights advocate who Kemp narrowly defeated four years ago. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock is facing Republican Herschel Walker, a former NFL football player and acolyte of former president Donald Trump, in a race that could decide control of the Senate.
