Georgia at the Intersections: Warnock vs. Walker

The 2022 Georgia Senate race is heating up as Republican Herschel Walker, a political newcomer, faces off against incumbent Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock. As was evident in the 2020 Georgia Senate races that saw Warnock and Democrat Jon Ossoff win election, the importance of Black voters in Georgia is expected to play a key role in determining the outcome of this election. 

We speak with Maya King, New York Times politics reporter covering the South, who has been covering the race, and Andra Gillespie, political scientist at Emory University, who discuss the latest developments in the race, and the efforts and strategies by both sides to garner support from Black voters.
