minority population. more than 30 percent are non white now . republicans still held on just because minorities and especially those who immigrated did not vote . but trump got people to pay attention and notice many of the young people supporting ossoff are young minorities. these are the kids of those immigrants and others who moved to the district .

and that's why trump won by so little and why ossoff is doing as well as he is.
