Klobuchar to Georgia Democrats: 'Get mad and vote' in response to potential overturn of Roe v. Wade
Georgia Democrats face major headwinds going into this year’s midterm elections, but they are looking to the not-so-distant past for inspiration: the 2020 election when Georgia voters flipped control of the U.S. Senate and helped elect Joe Biden as president.
“Do you know how many Republicans voted for the American Rescue Plan? Zero, zilch, zippo, none,” said Minnesota U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who was the keynote speaker at the Democratic Party of Georgia’s state dinner held Friday night at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Atlanta.
“So, when I tell you the nation is grateful to you, I really mean it,” Klobuchar added.
One of Georgia’s new senators elected less than two years ago, Raphael Warnock, is already up for reelection. Warnock’s race will top the ballot while Stacey Abrams, who is running again for governor, and a slate of other Democratic candidates hope to build on the recent statewide wins.
“Today, we call her Stacey. Next year, it will be governor,” Klobuchar said to cheers Friday.
