The statement contains two parts: (1) Warnock saying he would not be in Congress without the Voting Rights Act — this is plausible given that the VRA helped create majority-minority districts and political opportunities, though not strictly a verifiable factual claim since it’s counterfactual; (2) He slammed the Supreme Court’s decision as a blow for racial justice — this is false, because if he said it was a blow *for* racial justice, that would be praising it, but in context he likely said it was a blow *against* racial justice. The phrasing as reported makes the claim internally inconsistent with his likely intent, so the statement as written is misleading and thus FALSE.

The statement attributes a quote to Senator Raphael Warnock on a future date (2026-05-01) that cannot be verified; no record exists of him making that exact statement on that date.

Senator Raphael Warnock has publicly credited the Voting Rights Act for enabling his election and has condemned the Supreme Court's 2022 decision overturning key provisions of the Act as a setback for racial justice, matching the quoted statement.
