ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The Rev. Raphael Warnock’s win is one for the history books.⁣ ⁣ Warnock, a Democrat, defeated the incumbent Republican, Senator Kelly Loeffler, on Wednesday in Georgia’s runoff election, becoming the first Black senator in Georgia history and the first Black Democrat to be elected to the Senate in the South. He is also the first Democrat to be elected to the Senate from Georgia since 2000.⁣ ⁣ Warnock, 51, the pastor who took the pulpit at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once preached, spoke on the campaign trail about his life experiences as a Black man born and raised in the South. He ran for office in a state where people in predominantly Black neighborhoods waited in disproportionately long lines to vote last year, and where one study found that more than 80 percent of the residents hospitalized for the coronavirus in the state were Black — vestiges of systemic racism in the democratic and health care systems.⁣ ⁣ Political power in the former Jim Crow South, where few Black Americans have been elected to statewide office, is inextricably linked to race. And Warnock’s place in the political universe is distinct from the election of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris — the first Black woman and woman of color to serve as a senator from California — or Northerners like former President Barack Obama, previously a senator from Illinois, and Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in our bio to read more about Warnock and why his victory in Georgia is a generational breakthrough for Southern Black Democrats.
