I’ve been telling people for a while that this was going to happen and nobody wanted to believe me. It is schadenfreude’olicious.
Abrams is winning about 79% of black voters in Georgia. The problem is that Abrams needs to be winning 90% of them to even have a passable chance of winning.
More notably, Abrams is losing a third of black men under fifty to Kemp. They flat-out do not like her. She’s also losing a significant number of black mothers.
This is not just an Abrams problem. Nationally, Democrats are starting to see this. Much of it simply boils down to education. Moms and dads know their kids need a good education. Republicans have been offering school choice. Democrats have been forcing them to stay in schools based on zip codes.
Republicans in Georgia, including Brian Kemp, have not forcefully advocated for school choice programs like Florida or Arizona have. This should be a turning point for all of them. If they want to lock Georgia in for the GOP for a future generation, take advantage of the demographic shift and give these parents school choice for their children’s future.
Abrams has rhetoric. Kemp has a record. Kemp can make it stronger. But even before another legislative session and big wins, Kemp is doing well.
Put it to you this way — right now, Stacey Abrams is spending $2 million a week with a total of $33 million on television and radio ads. Kemp has spent almost nothing on the air war. Nonetheless, Kemp is winning by at least six points. Some Republicans are frustrated that Kemp is not responding to Abrams’ attacks. But every time she attacks — almost always about abortion now — Abrams holds on to the grenade, which explodes in her hand.
She is her own worst enemy. The candidates both have 100% name ID. Voters, including a growing portion of black voters, prefer Kemp.
Fetal Heart Beat
Also, please see this from one of my listeners. I’ll let it speak for itself:
Mr. Erickson,
Sir, whomever on your team is reading this, this was aired in fox news as a clip...
She said 6 week heartbeats are an audio clip.
No. They. Are. NOT!
I have lost 3 babies. That ultrasound to hear that heartbeat ARE still precious to me and my husband.
For her to say their heartbeat wasn't real...to have a politician attempt to rob me and my husband of the melody of their heartbeats...clinging to the hope we could carry them to term . We treasured each moment.
I so desperately want to combat this lie. Perhaps my grief is raging at having listened to this lie. Politics are one thing, but to say thier heartbeats were not real....she is wrong.
If you haven't already please speak about this. Please do not let her lie become truth to so many.
Thank you for reading this.
