‘The Future Is Blue, Not Purple’: Is This the Year Georgia Flips?

ATLANTA — There’s a joke about Atlanta’s most popular sports teams and how they often fail to reach their potential. The Atlanta Hawks franchise has gone more than 60 years without an N.B.A. championship. In 2017, during Super Bowl LI, the Atlanta Falcons were up, 28-3, in the third quarter against the New England Patriots. You know what happened next.

Georgia Democrats, long a source of hope for the national party, are seeking to avoid a similar reputation. In 2016, prominent supporters of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign infamously crowed about a changing electoral map that made Georgia winnable for Democrats, only to lose the state and the election.

The following year, Democrats watched an expensive special congressional election slip through their fingers. And the year after that, Stacey Abrams, a former State House minority leader, captured national attention and drove record turnout but lost the race for governor to Brian Kemp, a Republican who has stuck close to President Trump since his election.
