Mr. Ossoff lost the 2017 race, but a fellow Democrat, Lucy McBath, won the Sixth District a year later. This year, Mr. Ossoff is running for a Senate seat, and Ms. McBath is locked in a tight race against the Republican she unseated, Karen Handel. The pro-Handel forces echo Mr. Trump’s assertion that a vote for Democrats will mean crime and mayhem for the suburbs. One ad, from the National Republican Congressional Committee, features a white woman with a ponytail jogging through the woods. “We moved here for peace of mind, safety,” says a female narrator, who goes on to assert that crime has gotten “out of control” and that Ms. McBath voted to release violent criminals from prison.
