In 'mecca of hip-hop,' rappers rally for Georgia Democrats ahead of Senate runoffs
ABCNews
Following President-elect Joe Biden's 2020 win against President Donald Trump, many hip-hop artists are turning their focus to the high-stakes Georgia Senate runoffs, where Democrats are running to unseat two Republican incumbent senators.
Democrats Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff face off against current GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue on Tuesday. The Democratic Party, which maintained a narrow lead in the House in 2020, needs to capture both Senate seats to flip the balance of power in the upper chamber.
Communities of color in Atlanta and the surrounding areas were key to Biden's narrow win against Trump in the Peach State, where the Black vote is especially powerful, hip-hop artists are hoping to boost turnout and deliver another win for Democrats.
