New York Times columnist Charles Blow appeared to fret over some Black voters supporting Gov. Brian Kemp over Stacey Abrams in the Georgia gubernatorial race.
columnist Charles Blow appeared alarmed at the possibility of a split ticket for some Black voters in Georgia as he said Monday,"God forbid" they vote for Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in his re-election bid but also Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in the gubernatorial race.
"You can have some split ticketing on the ticket between the governor's race and Senate race, and it may in fact be Black people doing that, withholding a vote or, God forbid, voting for Kemp," he said. The Atlantic Journal-Constitution reported in September that Abrams was having trouble solidifying supportAn AJC poll from September found that Abrams has 79% of support from Black voters; however, the outlet reported,"Democrats typically poll at least 10 percentage points higher." Abrams' support with Black men, according to the AJC, is at 75%, and is one of the key reasons she has consistently trailed Kemp in state surveys.
