When Reverend Raphael Warnock, her opponent, when they first decided to support him, to advocate for him, to use their national platform to increase the awareness of him and his candidacy, he was polling at 9 percent. Now he's in a run-off. That's how much their involvement has meant and it shows you it wasn't just about their disdain for Kelly Loeffler, it was about principles that Reverend Raphael Warnock has about how he is in alignment with principles they believe in.

When the athletes start talking about how much they want to play, suddenly people in leadership positions want to hear their positions.

Last year, I introduced legislation that would establish a pilot program at the U.S. Department of Justice to provide grants to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, HBCUs, to implement educational programs for eligible offenders and help them successfully transition back into their communities.
