Raphael Warnock

Sen. Raphael Warnock’s victory in Georgia is a boon to the Democratic Party and an esteemed historical event for Blacks. His campaign demonstrated the impact of a committed Black voting bloc, but Black activists should be concerned that Herschel Walker, a totally unqualified person to be a senator, opposed Warnock at the behest of Republican MAGAs.

The November election will establish the moral character of the Georgia electorate as well as who will be the state’s U.S. senator.

When Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff took Senate seats in Georgia, they flipped the Senate to Democratic control, giving the party control over all three branches of government. The victory was not won on the strength of the candidates’ campaigns alone, but through the efforts of volunteers across the country, including many in Massachusetts.
