But 34N22’s gimmick seems clear: associate Walker with compassion and generosity while his party is pushing for spending and tax cuts that are likely to hurt Black people disproportionately.
Nonetheless, Georgia Democrats and voting rights activists have noted the absurdity here: Georgia Republicans passed a law last yearhelped feed suspicion that Walker was behind the vouchers when she stood outside a gas station this summer and said Walker had personally authorized the giveaways. That would violate election laws restricting contact between super PACs and the candidates they support.
Walker and his Democratic opponent, Sen. Raphael Warnock, appear to be neck and neck, if you believe recent polls. The pro-Walker giveaways were an early sign that Walker’s allies knew they’d need to shed some of Warnock’s Black support to eke out a victory. This method may prove both ineffective
