The question was already asked, so I won’t belabor it… but this is also his second term. His voting track record proves he’s a candidate worth having in the Senate from an otherwise historically red state.

Something else to consider… for both first and second term, a non-insignificant amount of people withstood voter suppression tactics to wait in line for hours to vote democratically for said candidate.

It’s ironic the lengths Georgians went to elect someone with such pronounced religious fervor at face value when compared to the similarly fervent religious opposition. Maybe religion wasn’t truly the key issue at stake, but the values Warnock upheld….

In case this was a great joke I didn’t parse, though: lol.

Forgive any perceived rudeness. I’m proud of what I’m seeing in [the backyard of] my neck of the woods. Doesn’t happen often, so I’m a little defensive of the wins that occur… especially given how Warnock’s election helps the Senate committees (and how Warnock of all the Senators, he didn’t play the roles Sinema or Machin did last session’s disgraceful acts in Congress).

Oh totally... Warnock has been an effective legislator and has proven that he does good for the people of Georgia. I'm stoked he won, and hope some day Stacey Abrams finally gets her chance in the chair.

And yes, the electorate voted for him twice... the first time against an Illinois right wing Trumpist nutjob (Kelly Loeffler) who had served in the role for three weeks, after being appointed by the Governor when her predecessor got sick and was unable to complete his term.

So yeah, Georgians have voted twice for the born-and-bred Georgian moderate, than the ring-wing Trumpist lunatics from out of state.

What other option did they have?

(...Insert my usual comment about this is why we need ranked-choice voting and scroll on... pay no attention to the raving old man...)
