On the final day of overtime in Georgia, Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock exuded confidence, but warned supporters against being complacent in his run-off election with Republican nominee and former football great Herschel Walker.
, Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock exuded confidence, but warned supporters against being complacent in his run-off election with Republican nominee and former football great Herschel Walker.
Democrats have already clinched control of the chamber, but victory for Warnock – after the party picked up a seat in Pennsylvania – would give Majority Leader Chuck Schumer a vote to spare and allow Democrats to lead committees that have been split since Biden took office. With that in mind, Walker and a host of GOP senators have implored Republicans to send him to Washington as a check on Biden and his policies.
For the past few weeks, Georgia Republican leaders have been touting early in-person voting turnout. That's despite GOP officials having sought unsuccessfully to close the polls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving owing to a controversial reading of state voting laws. The Georgia Supreme Court ultimately upheld a lower court's ruling that allowed them to open.
Walker is also scrambling to overcome an extraordinary 200,000-vote gap between his November vote total and that of Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who handily defeated Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams. That's a deficit complicating Walker's path as he looks to win over Republican or Republican-leaning voters who didn't turn out for him last month.
Kemp has done his best to aid the cause after stiff-arming Walker for most of the general election campaign. With Trump effectively out of the picture, Kemp has emerged as Walker's top surrogate, appearing in a pair of television ads during the run-off for his fellow Republican.
