Former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler recently appeared at the Georgia state GOP convention in Columbus to discuss the Republican party’s strategy for winning back voters in the Peach State. Joined by conservative talk radio hosts Leo Terrell and Shelley Wynter, Loeffler emphasized the importance of attracting more black voters to the GOP.
During the convention, Loeffler, Terrell, and Wynter highlighted the need for aggressive outreach efforts to bring African American voters into the Republican fold. They expressed a belief that the Democratic Party relies on black voters more than black voters need the party and emphasized that the Trump coalition is inclusive of voters from all backgrounds.
The group also discussed recent polling data showing that a significant majority of black voters supported Biden over Trump in swing states, including Georgia. Loeffler, who narrowly lost her Senate seat in a 2021 runoff election, acknowledged the importance of expanding the Republican coalition in a state that is becoming increasingly diverse.
Additionally, the panel touched on various issues, such as the treatment of protesters and the importance of upholding basic issues like preventing crime and securing the border. Loeffler, who chairs a group called Greater Georgia aimed at diversifying the GOP, urged attendees to continue working hard to register more voters and promote diversity within the party.
Overall, the convention served as a platform for Loeffler and other conservative voices to advocate for expanding the Republican party’s appeal and engaging with a broader range of voters in Georgia.
