With Lance Bottoms speaking, it’s worth noting that suburban Atlanta is going to be a very important part of the November election. If Biden is going to win Georgia, he needs to really run up margins in Atlanta but make even more gains in the suburbs there, building on what Hillary Clinton did in 2016. At the same time, a big showing for Democrats in Atlanta will be key for Jon Ossoff in the state’s regularly scheduled Senate race (there’s also a special election) and also in the state’s competitive 6th and 7th Congressional Districts.
