Politically Georgia: Why state Democrats are at a crossroads

Democratic U.S. Sen Raphael Warnock and gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams listen to former President Barack Obama speak Oct. 28 at a rally for the party's candidates. Warnock and Abrams took different approaches to President Joe Biden's administration during their campaigns, with Warnock keeping the president at arm's length while Abrams maintained strong support for him. Now that she has lost the race for governor, a position in Biden's Cabinet could be a next step. (Arvin Temkar/The Atlanta Journal-Constitution/TNS)
