United States representatives and Democratic party representatives hosted a debate watch party on Tuesday night in support of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. With the smell of soul food wafting through the restaurant and the anticipation of the debate building, supporters packed themselves into Magic Soul Food in Sandy Springs surrounded by campaign posters supporting the former educator, football coach, and Vice President hopeful.
“When we win, we fight,” the crowd chanted, a sentiment that has carried the election since Vice President Kamala Harris announced she was running for President.
Dontaye Carter, candidate for Sandy Springs mayor, rallied supporters moments before the beginning of the debate.
“I know we’re tired because we’ve been in this [fight] in Georgia for a long go, but I always remember the thing that my mother told me. She said they don’t come home without standing up to that bully. Right now we’re standing up to some bullies.
