Also in today’s edition of Swing State Georgia:

• Soft polling continues for Abrams among Black voters.

• Kemp likely to skip any Trump visit.

• Georgia Republican targets ‘wokeness.’

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s path from pariah to one of the state’s most popular politicians might be the most unlikely storyline of the 2022 election. But the recent Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll once again indicated the Republican’s rise.

Not long ago, Republican leaders were calling for Raffensperger to resign as former President Donald Trump declared him one of his top targets.

Many expected Raffensperger not to run for re-election, let alone defeat his primary challenger - U.S. Rep. Jody Hice - who had the backing of former President Donald Trump.
