Rising Up: Raphael Warnock Talks Georgia Senate Runoff, Heavy Early Voter Turnout, Black Voter Surge

Roland Martin spoke with Rev. Raphael Warnock after Tuesday's joint campaign rally with Jon Ossoff in Atlanta where President-elect Joe Biden spoke.

The first day of early voting in the Georgia runoff election produced a massive surge in early voting where 41 percent of those who participated were African American.

Warnock told Roland, "The people of Georgia understand how much is at stake and they're rising up in this moment."

Perhaps if we succeed in sending two Dems to the Senate, we educated BLACK suburban females who rallied behind Stacey Abrams these last few years will finally get some recognition as a voting bloc worth courting. Dare I hope?

Nice: Raphael Warnock is well on his way to being a Senator in 1 month. "We shouldn't be talking about election 'day' anymore, it's election 'season.' What used to be election 'day' is the day you need to use getting everyone who hasn't voted to the polls. This is the new South and Georgia is the tip of the spear." Please God, Vote if you live in GA.

Georgians: tell your party that you will vote for the other party unless they pay us the stimulus money NOW for the last 10 months! Pay us first or no vote for you! No stimulus, no vote!

I am concerned for a pastor that is okay with the killing of babies. He may be a good candidate but a poor minister.
