ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and Stacey Abrams traded warm praise for each other — and slammed Republican health care policy — at a campaign rally Wednesday designed to quell concerns about party unity at the top of the Democratic ticket.
The two high-profile Democrats used the rally to tear into Republican opposition to Medicaid expansion in the wake of an Atlanta Journal-Constitution report hours earlier that the Atlanta Medical Center could soon close.
“This isn’t down in Randolph County or up in Commerce. This isn’t happening in rural Georgia or suburban Georgia. This is happening in the heart of Atlanta,” Abrams said of the fate of the Wellstar Health System facility.
