Wild that we've been a country for 250 years and we've never crossed this particular intersection. Makes you think

It's also wild that it's Keisha Lance Bottoms, of all people. As an Atlantan, I didn't like her as a city councilperson or mayor and I can think of several local black women who would've been better, such as Felicia Moore or Stacey Abrams. But in this case, she's still better than the alternative.
Abrams deserves so many flowers for building the apparatus that gave us Ossoff, Warnock, and now klb.
She's a real one
but their names weren't funny enough. sorry.
We're only like 60 years removed from Jim Crow
I voted for her. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm pleasantly surprised. She was honestly a weak candidate because of how so many view the way she ran Atlanta. I'm ecstatic that she won, and it is a huge statement; not because of her identity but because of the fact that I drive by multiple permanent Trump signs every single day. Outside of the cities here, the MAGA runs deep.
Agreed. It was her or “I’m gonna be Trump’s favorite governor.”
I'm so happy for her.
Texas just got a Hispanic woman governor pushing out Abbott too.
Its a historical night.
These kind of news are horrible for the pedosphere. For them it's already bad enough that they lost, but doing so to a black woman? I mean, not just a black person, not just a woman... A black woman! That's something unbearable. I'm worried about the amount of people who will get a rage-induced aneurysm because of these news.
Now, for the sad news of today, it still is NOT Friday.
What a wonderful thing to wake up to! Today is going to be a happy day for so many reasons.
Stacy Abrams fought a very hard battle a few years ago and was instrumental in helping getting disenfranchised voters registered.
This is great! I thought it would be Stacey Abrams from the headline. I liked her from what I saw in previous election years and all the work she does.
That is simply huge. A few weeks ago people were talking about it being a split ticket election. Democratic Senator but Republican governor. Wow.
Thankyou GA. You've been fighting the hardest since the Civil Rights Movement. Bless you and may your state prosper!
Wait, really? I would have sworn we'd have had one in one of the states by now.
