Warnock: "Just because people endured long lines … the rain and the cold and all kind of tricks in order to vote, it doesn't mean that voter suppression doesn't exist. It simply means that you the people have decided your voices will not be silenced." pic.twitter.com/KdNyIc3Ozc — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) December 7, 2022
Wednesday Morning Open Thread: Congratulations, Senator Warnock!Post + Comments (261)
Just called @SenatorWarnock to congratulate him on his win.
Tonight Georgia voters stood up for our democracy, rejected Ultra MAGAism, and most importantly: sent a good man back to the Senate. Here’s to six more years. pic.twitter.com/ibx5aprVs3

Georgia voters said they wanted a Senator who would fight for them—and made it a reality when they reelected @ReverendWarnock to the U.S. Senate. Congratulations, my friend. pic.twitter.com/uFKbyInyJL

Thread (from a fellow campaign organizer):
This is @quentinfulks – campaign manager for @ReverendWarnock. The guy who just won arguably the most difficult campaign of the cycle. He thread an incredibly tiny needle to win. Q deserves all the accolades coming his way tonight. All of them. pic.twitter.com/j5V70vFrjL

Big ups to everyone in Georgia who was willing to be a Democrat in a place where it wasn't easy to be a Democrat.

Herschel Walker was meant to be white conservatives’ trophy. A Black caricature, and a cruel example of what they could accomplish in a state they’ve rigged with voter suppression. Shame on them.
Congrats to Sen. Warnock. Congrats to all of us. https://t.co/FCZjN7e56S

Not since Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1934 has a Democratic president in his first midterm election seen every sitting Democratic senator re-elected. Raphael Warnock’s win in Georgia tonight is historic for Senator Warnock — and for President Biden.

Metro Atlanta poses a huge problem for Republicans in 2024 and beyond.
These counties keep getting bluer every election. And given that much of the shift is because of population growth and diversification, it may end up being quite durable.https://t.co/g9WLXBFWgg

"The defeat of Walker…culminated a disastrous year for Donald Trump, who set himself up as a Republican kingmaker only to watch his Senate candidates in NV, AZ, PA and now GA — as well as his picks for governor in AZ, MI and GA — go on to defeat" https://t.co/HNVXjnXsZg
