Anger over Donald Trump’s leadership has created an opening for progressives to flip formerly solid-red states such as Georgia—and reclaim the identity of so-called values voters.

ATLANTA (AP) — In 2008, when Barack Obama was under fire for a sermon his former pastor delivered years earlier, the aspiring president distanced himself from the preacher’s fiery words that...

Raphael Warnock, a first-time candidate running for Senate, is working to turn out new and infrequent voters. But a tough runoff almost certainly looms.

The Georgia Senate candidate's allegedly "extreme" politics are rooted in a familiar source: the Gospel.

And he's become the target of ugly Republican attacks in the process.

The Democrat from Georgia prepares for a runoff, potentially predicting the fate of the Senate

In an open letter, dozens of Black religious leaders criticized Senator Kelly Loeffler for her characterizations of the Rev. Dr. Raphael G. Warnock, her Democratic opponent.

As the Georgia runoffs descend into attacks on the Reverend Raphael Warnock’s faith, the right’s long-simmering antipathy for Black theological traditions is swinging into view.

Religion has taken on new meaning in this heated political season amid the Georgia Senate runoff races, where a Black pastor from Martin Luther King Jr.'s church is on the ballot.

For the preacher-turned-politician, winning a Senate seat in Georgia might mean convincing voters that God is on his side.

Attacks on the Black church from the right are not new but appear to be increasing in frequency.
