Before 2020 Georgia Democrats have been swept in runoffs since 1992 due to the factors of having a lower propensity coalition of voters of Black and poorer white voters
The 2 seats in prior elections were +14 GOP and plus +8 GOP
The GOP if they won 1 seat would have been able to fully stop any progress by the Democrats toward a major change
GOP winning the Georgia ad war as Dems shift money to ground game
They had the largest super PAC expenditure of all time with Karl Rove, Mitch Mcconnell, and Koch spending millions
Chuck Schumer and Steny Hoyer basically gave up
The Dems failed to get their preferred candidates with a 33 old facing an incumbent and a political newcomer
