The\u003ci\u003e Atlanta Journal-Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e reporter Greg Bluestein charts how progressive activists and organizers worked to mobilize hundreds of thousands of new voters and how Joe Biden's victory in Georgia may shape Democratic strategy for years to come. He also chronicles how Georgia's Republicans countered with a move to the far right that culminated in state leaders defying Donald Trump's demands to overturn his defeat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bluestein tells the story of all the key figures in this election, including Stacey Abrams, Brian Kemp, David Perdue, Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, and Kelly Loeffler, through hundreds of interviews with the people closest to the election. \u003ci\u003eFlipped\u003c\/i\u003e also features such fascinating characters as political activist turned U.S. congresswoman Nikema Williams; perma-tanned baseball star turned lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan; and the volunteers and voters who laid the groundwork for Biden's triumphant Georgia campaign. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFlipped \u003c\/i\u003etells a story that will resonate through the rest of the decade and beyond, as most political experts see Georgia headed toward years of close elections, and Democrats have developed a deep bench of strong candidates. There will be even more interest in the state going forward, when Stacey Abrams could mount a rematch against Governor Brian Kemp in 2022 and Trump promotes his own slate of candidates against Republicans who stood against his efforts to overturn Georgia's election.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Bluestein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593489154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreg Bluestein\u003c\/b\u003e is a political reporter who covers the governor's office and state politics for \u003ci\u003eThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e.
