Gwinnett already went to the Demonrats. Trump got 44.4% in 2016 to Hillary’s 50.2% in 2016. Scaty Abrams got 57% to Brian Kemp’s 42% in 2018.

5 White female Dem State Senators, all from Atlanta or the adjacent suburbs (2 of whom were elected from formerly GOP suburban districts throwing a tantrum in 2018).
