“John Lewis must be smiling from above.”
Throughout the week, votes from pivotal swing states in the presidential election have been steadily coming in. But at around 4:30 AM Eastern Time, a significant shift occurred: Georgia turned blue as Joe Biden took the lead in the vote count. Observers quickly noted that the newly counted absentee ballots that helped Biden surge ahead came from Clayton County, the district represented by the late Congressman John Lewis.
Lewis was a monumental figure in the civil rights movement, embodying the kindness and decency that seem to have been largely absent from our political landscape in recent years. His legacy makes this moment even more poignant.
Throughout his life, Lewis faced constant bullying from Trump, who once referred to Clayton County and Lewis’ district as “horrible.” After Lewis passed away in July, Trump notably chose not to attend his funeral. In an interview with Axios, Trump attempted to justify his absence but only succeeded in sounding callous. “He didn’t come to my inauguration. He didn’t come to my State of the Union speeches. And that’s OK, that’s his right. And again, nobody has done more for Black Americans than I have,” Trump remarked. “He should’ve come. I think he made a big mistake.”
This is a man who led the iconic 1965 Selma march for civil rights, and yet Trump downplayed Lewis’s historic contributions. Lewis dedicated his life to combating racism and fostering unity, while Trump often hijacked discussions about Lewis to further his own divisive agenda. John Lewis was undoubtedly a hero; in contrast, Trump embodies cowardice, racism, and bullying. These two figures are not even in the same league.
As the final votes are tallied today, analysts predict that it is unlikely for Trump to regain his lead in Georgia or in Pennsylvania, where Biden has also taken the lead. Perhaps we are on the cusp of a new political era—one focused on serving all Americans, a concept Trump never grasped.
