Georgia Democrats have struggled to counter mounting concerns about high inflation and rising energy prices as November approaches. The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling eliminating the constitutional right to abortion presents them with a chance to remake the political narrative.
At large weekend protests and campaign trail stops, Democrats promised the ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade would upend midterm elections that Republicans have framed as a referendum on President Joe Biden's economic record.
U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, up for a full six-year term, urged a Valdosta audience not to "give in to despair" by retreating from political activity. Stacey Abrams, Gov. Brian Kemp's challenger, said Republicans want to strip away fundamental freedoms: "If you're a woman in Georgia, you should be terrified right now."
