Nope.
Not even close.
Population of Georgia is over 10 million.
Population of Atlanta is under 500,000.
And Atlanta is only 50% black.
Atlanta Metro includes the suburbs/satellite cities (like Sandy Springs, Marietta, etc) so that’s 4.6 million people.
Atlanta metro. Not Atlanta proper.

The Atlanta Metro has 6,144,050 people.
Georgia as a whole has 10,711,908
More than half the population of Georgia lives in the 28 county Atlanta metro.
It isn’t the same Georgia as only a decade ago. It’s why Georgia is well to the left of Florida now, which was never the case in years past.
People don’t like to accept changing electorates but they are real.
That doesn’t mean that Georgia is a permanent Blue State, but it certainly is a purplish State now and that means not nominating Crazy people for Statewide office.
I think a Kemp-Walker ticket balances nicely and will do well in November, despite the wishes of the trailer trash crowd.
He probably means Metro Atlanta.
