ATLANTA — When Joe Biden won Georgia in 2020 and Democrats swept both Senate seats nine weeks later, a lion’s share of the credit went to the Democrats’ expansive ground game, the sophisticated, data-driven operation that was seeded for years by Stacey Abrams and her fellow progressives.
Now less than two years later, the turnout machine that Democrats built faces its biggest test yet, with Biden down in the polls, former President Donald Trump staying away from the state, and Abrams running at the top of the ticket for the party.
Some polls show Abrams down by as much as 10 points to Gov. Brian Kemp. But Democrats believe their plan to motivate and deliver Democrats to the polls, especially with abortion as an issue, will deliver victory again.
