佐治亚州当选州长博顿斯11月8日称佐治亚已是蓝州 将成美国首位黑人女州长
佐治亚州当选州长凯莎·兰斯·博顿斯11月8日在美国广播公司《本周》节目中表示，佐治亚这个数十年来由共和党主导的州「可以说已经是一个蓝州」。她说，竞选期间她一直表示，要向佐治亚与全美证明，2020年把两名民主党参议员送进国会、让佐治亚翻蓝并非偶然，这次选举已经以很大的优势证明了这一点。
博顿斯的胜选创造多项历史：她将成为佐治亚州首位女性州长与首位黑人州长，也是美国历史上首位当选州长的黑人女性。佐治亚上一次选出民主党州长还是1999年的罗伊·巴恩斯。
与博顿斯一同胜选的民主党人预计将赢得今年选票上的全部州级职位，包括副州长、总检察长与州务卿，民主党还将重新掌控州众议院。博顿斯将接替任期届满的共和党州长布莱恩·肯普，后者在任内曾多次与特朗普政府发生冲突。
博顿斯将于明年1月正式就职，届时佐治亚将迎来27年来首位民主党州长。
Georgia Governor-elect Bottoms Says on November 8 That Georgia Is Now a Blue State
Georgia Governor-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms said on November 8 on ABC's "This Week" that Georgia, a state dominated by Republicans for decades, is now "safe to say" a blue state. She said that throughout her campaign she pledged to show Georgia and the nation that sending two Democratic senators to Washington and flipping Georgia blue in 2020 was not a fluke, and that Tuesday's results proved it in a big way.
Bottoms' victory makes history in several ways: she will become Georgia's first female governor and first Black governor, and the first Black woman elected governor in United States history. The last time Georgia elected a Democratic governor was Roy Barnes in 1999.
Democrats running alongside Bottoms are projected to win every statewide office on this year's ballot, including lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state, and Democrats will also retake the state House. Bottoms succeeds term-limited Republican Governor Brian Kemp, who clashed repeatedly with the Trump administration during his tenure.
Bottoms takes office in January, becoming Georgia's first Democratic governor in 27 years.
