Georgia's Keisha Lance Bottoms Navigates the Challenges of Black Women Battling Political Barriers
Bottoms is pushing back on crime attacks with ads and rallies as Barack Obama headlines a rally in her support.
- Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms holds a narrow lead in the Georgia gubernatorial race against Rick Jackson, a billionaire who has hammered her four-year mayoral tenure as a crime-ridden decline.
- Republican nominee Jackson has funded his campaign with more than $200 million, airing television ads featuring past demonstrations and violence in Atlanta to characterize Bottoms as a failure.
- President Donald Trump joined other Republicans in attacking the candidate, claiming Bottoms "destroyed Atlanta with her crime and filth and constant riots," echoing profane attacks he has leveled against majority-Black cities.
- On Wednesday, Bottoms will counter these attacks at a rally headlined by Barack Obama, dismissing the Republican framing as ridiculous for a city that recently staged eight World Cup soccer matches.
- Bottoms, a former White House adviser to Democratic President Joe Biden, seeks to become the first Black woman elected governor in any state, running in a Deep South state where her lineage extends to antebellum enslavement.
