In this episode, we explore Georgia's historic political shift in 2020 when the state narrowly elected Joe Biden, marking the first Democratic presidential win since 1992. Asian voters were a big part of that result, as voter registration and participation surged from 2016 to 2020, leading the turnout increase. Our focus today is on Indian-American voters in Georgia, a significant yet often overlooked group in political discussions.
Apart from their voting power, Indian-Americans are becoming more prominent in elections, evidenced by the popularity of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley in recent primaries. We also introduce an Indian-American Gen Z candidate, Ashwin Ramaswami, running for State Senate in District 48, showcasing the new wave of political engagement.
The episode is co-hosted by political science professor Sara Sadhwani and multimedia journalist J.D. Ramirez.
