Same with Republicans.

I used to hear an old saying: "All politics is local"
I read that "old saying" yesterday in either the Times or the Post. That seems to be true if they are indeed local. However, this one isn't. Ossoff has over 20mil$ from outside his district. I wouldn't say that was local.

Further, national figures campaigning bring influence. And many people vote straight party, which is the influence of two national parties.

Georgia 6 has been nationalized

I can't make a prediction until the next poll, that last one may have been an outlier but it agrees with my admittedly amateur assessment.
