An Axios focus group of Georgia swing voters is encouraging for Sen. Raphael Warnock’s runoff bid, providing a window into how at least a handful of generally conservative voters—who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020—are viewing the race. It’s definitely anecdote and not data, but the 12 Trump-to-Biden swing voters who participated had all voted in the midterms and are “just as committed” to voting in the Dec. 6 runoff.
In this group, Warnock would win. The feedback from the focus group indicated they were “largely influenced by issues of character, experience and trust, and none plan to change their votes. There were eight Republicans, two Democrats, and two independents and eight of the group voted for Warnock the first time around, several citing Republican Herschel Walker’s “character” issues and fitness for the job.
“I doubt Walker really understands a lot of normal people, regular people. I just don’t think he’s in touch with the real world,” said Susan O. of Augusta. She said she is a Republican but voted for Democrat Stacey Abrams for governor and Warnock. Another participant said “I don’t think I felt comfortable trusting Walker at all,” and a third said Walker was “propped up there to be a Republican puppet.” He added allegations of domestic abuse by Walker was disqualifying for him. “I would never feel good about voting for somebody like that and look my daughter in the eye.”
We only have a few short weeks of overtime to get Warnock back in the Senate. We don’t need to remind you of just how enormous the stakes are, and how little time we’ve got. Please donate $10—or $20, or even $100 if you’re able—to help Raphael Warnock win a full six-year term!
