Warnock's Campaign Is 'Fairly Optimistic That Things Are Tilting Their Way.' - MSNBC Reports

The Georgia Supreme Court has ruled that early voting in the Senate runoff can start as soon as this Saturday. Atlanta Journal Constitution Political Reporter Greg Bluestein joins Chris Jansing to discuss. “It's hard to poll these races accurately because we just don't know who's gonna show up after Thanksgiving for this December 6 runoff,” says Bluestein. “But I can tell you that Warnock's campaign is is fairly optimistic that things are tilting their way.” - Aired on 11/24/2022.

2. He really is just the best, I can't believe he's in a runoff with the worst candidate imaginable

Rachel Maddow once referred to Raphael Warnock was "the most eloquent member of the Senate" while Herschel Walker can barely put two words together!

4. The big question is if all those people who voted for Kemp will vote for Walker.

Kemp won by 300K votes, and got 223K more votes than Walker on the republican line.
On the other hand, Warnock got 132K more votes than Abrams on the Democratic line.
This left Warnock with a 36K lead.
So, Democratic voters were more favorable toward Warnock than republican voters were toward Walker.
And this was with Kemp winning big!
How many Kemp voters only pulled the lever for Walker because they were there already there?
As it was, 223K people who voted for Kemp didn't vote for Walker.
So my point is, are we looking at a lot of republicans who voted for Walker but won't bother to show if he's the main attraction on the republican line?
Also, how many of the 81K votes Chase Oliver got will be cast? Probably not all that many, and they most likely won't split that strongly for Walker.
I'm betting that will be the case, and Warnock will win by over 100K votes.

This is my personal prediction.

5. That's the thing!

Will Republicans turn out to cast a single vote? Those who voted straight Republicans likely just pulled all the second row levers (or however they now vote in Georgia). I'm also guessing that they won't turn out only for Walker - who has to be the most off-putting candidate in a long time. I sure hope that your prediction comes true!
