Warnock Gets His First Serious Challenger

Georgia Agriculture Secretary Gary Black (R) entered the race against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) on Friday, “becoming the most prominent Republican to join the field competing to retake a seat long in GOP hands,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

“Black enters with his own strengths. He has painstakingly built a base of support in rural Georgia over three terms in office – and 40 years in the farm business – that will come in handy during a contested Republican primary.”
