KING: Welcome back. One of the more interesting races this midterm election year is the race for Georgia governor. Stacey Abrams, the Democrat, hoping to turn a traditional red state blue. If she can do that, she would be the nation's first female African- American governor. You see her there on the cover of Time magazine. Molly ball is the author of this great cover story. Now we talked about the Republican candidate yesterday. He is a Trumpian conservative. Stacey Abrams says, no, that's not Georgia. What did you learn? Well, Stacey Abrams is hoping that this race follows the model of a couple of other southern states that recently had races that pitted a Democrat, who emphasizes pocketbook issues which is her plan in her campaign, versus a Republican who is very much a Trumpian culture warrior, talking about, you know, guns and illegal immigration and all kinds of other cultural issues that a governor doesn't usually concern themselves with. For example, the Virginia governor's race and the Alabama Senate race. In both of those you had Republican candidates using a sort of Trump echoing message. Democratic candidates running, number one, on expanding healthcare, expanding Medicaid in the case of Ralph Northam and Stacey Abrams. Restoring CHIP funding in the case of Doug Jones. That was the thing he talked about the very most. So, you know, Georgia, historically red state. Well, it's only been -- become Republican in the -- about the past decade and a half. It's also diversified incredibly rapidly. In fact, it is more diverse than Virginia or Alabama. The voting population in Georgia only about 55 percent white, 45 percent communities of color. So, her bet is that she can galvanize that with an effective campaign and a compelling candidacy.</s>KING: It's a great race to watch. Appreciate the cover story.
