The pastor of the Rev. Martin Luther King's church in Atlanta is running for the U.S. Senate. The Rev. Raphael Warnock is challenging newly appointed Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia. Warnock has an influential pulpit at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and his entrance adds Democratic star power to the race.
Loeffler is a wealthy businesswoman and political novice who already has to defend the seat against her fellow Republican, Rep. Doug Collins. Their battle over loyalty to President Donald Trump could drive suburban voters and women away from the GOP in what's shaping up to be a battleground state.
