for Biden. He lost the county by a pretty large margin. This is a majority white county sis tells me. Without those votes Biden would have lost Georgia. We need all voters in Georgia and everywhere...all that we can get. The same is true in the Senate race, we lowered Trump's numbers considerably in red counties which combined with the AA vote helped pick off two GOP Senators. We need the burbs and the AA vote. In fact, suburbs are increasingly diverse.
