COLUMBUS, GEORGIA — Kelly Loeffler may not be a U.S. senator anymore, but she hasn’t strayed far from the center of Georgia politics.
Loeffler made an appearance at the Georgia state GOP convention in Columbus Friday to talk about how Republicans can take back the Peach State. Flanked by conservative talk radio hosts Leo Terrell and Shelley Wynter, she hosted a “fireside chat” centered largely on how to win more black voters.
“Democrats need black voters more than black voters need the Democratic Party,” said Loeffler, who served in the Senate in 2020 and 2021 before losing her seat to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). “The Trump coalition is good for voters of every color, every religion, every creed.”
Terrell and Wynter, who are both black, agreed that African American voters can be brought into the GOP fold via aggressive outreach.
“It’s not about skin tone. That’s the Democratic playbook,” he said. “I’m old enough to remember a guy saying you judge a person by the content of his character and not the color of his skin. And that’s why we’re all here.”
