Sadly, I don’t think so. Despite the fact that she keeps failing to bring anything home for them, MAGA is pretty strong over in the 14th, in part because lots of people over there feel like they’ve been abandoned by both parties over the years… it’s a very conservative, racist, gerrymandered district. (I should know, I grew up there… The KKK still had strong presence there right up until the 90s, so her kind of Trumpian populism plays well with the white working class. She actually left the north ATL suburbs to move up there. And the Democrats keep refusing to try new tactics, like letting an actual progressive run who can speak to the issues facing lots of people in that district (Black or white). The last guy they rain, Marcus Flowers had a sort of retired military and folksy thing going, but that didn’t work well for him (he’s now running in my district). If they get a homegrown progressive firebrand, they might have a chance, but I don’t know.
This guy seems to be the only one who is doing any decent fund-raising up there:
Stacy Abrams was talking about this for a while now, that the way to win the state is to do a whole state approach, but the state wide Democratic party seems uninterested in trying to make any headway in the rural parts of the state outside the metros or the Black belt.
[ETA] This guy seems sort of interesting…
