Women in Politics

While most Americans watched Georgia’s nail-biting senatorial election from afar, the Women NBA’s Atlanta Dream, an American professional basketball team based in Atlanta, Georgia, took matters into their own hands, using social media to spread their message on the importance of voting. Consequently, by the time January 5th 2021 arrived Democratic Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock secured 51% of the votes, leading to a monumental victory over Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler, co-owner of the Atlanta Dream. Both Warnock’s and Democrat Jon Ossof’s win in Georgia successfully turned the state blue, giving Democrats the control of the Senate.
