The Switch Up Election Series — Republicans fight to regain Georgia as Election Day nears

In 2020, President Biden became the first Democrat to win Georgia since former President Clinton. But in 2024, Republicans are fighting to regain the 16 Electoral College votes up for grabs.

Camilla Moore is the chair of the Georgia Black Republican Council, an organization that works to recruit Black Americans to join the GOP and run for office. She joined The Switch Up’s election series to share her thoughts about how Black Republicans can impact this critical election, now less than two months away, and what Vice President Harris’s identity could mean for Black voters. 

She also digs deep into how the Peach State became one of the most pivotal swing states and what Harris’s identity could mean for Black voters.

Listen above.


Editor’s Note: This episode was recorded shortly after Harris announced her candidacy.


The Switch Up podcast series — hosted by The Hill’s Cheyanne M. Daniels — explores the intersection of race and politics through intimate conversations with leading scholars, advocates and legislators from communities of color. Follow The Switch Up on Spotify.
