Georgia’s Power Players: The Rising Influence of Indian-American Voters
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.
