Georgia Democrats set to regroup after 2024 election reversals from 2020 wins
The Democratic Party of Georgia is set to elect a new state chair on Saturday to compete against Republican-controlled state and federal governments.
A new leader will be selected by the Georgia Democrats to replace Atlanta U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams, who resigned in March following internal pressure from key members of her party, including U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, who expressed doubts about her ability to devote sufficient attention to promoting the party’s platform.
Ossoff, who is in for a tough fight to keep his Senate seat in 2026, reportedly pressured Williams to step down after the Democrats’ poor performance in last year’s election.
President Donald Trump’s return to the White House looms large, which raises questions about the role of Democratic party leadership in winning close elections.
Seven candidates are competing for the Democratic Party of Georgia chair and plan to deliver speeches in Atlanta Saturday seeking support for their bid to lead a party that recently enjoyed success with two Democratic senators winning the 2020 election as well as the state’s pivotal role in putting former President Joe Biden in the White House.
