Raphael Warnock and Republican candidate Herschel Walker rally voters to turn out and cast their ballot for the Georgia Senate runoffs — but are voters as enthusiastic as they were for the midterms and the gubernatorial election? NBC News Correspondent Shaq Brewster and Atlanta Journal Constitution Political Reporter Greg Bluestein report.

  1. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today….

  2. It's not like the liberal media bombarding the airwaves with negative stories about Walker before the election had any influence or anything.

  3. It want make a difference they have no power

  4. I like how everyone’s always acting like “independents” (it just means Republican in GA) are nuanced. The Conservatives just needed a “black one” and the campaign was done.

  5. What this means, don't look for fuel prices to drop.

  6. Well it's all over now !!!
    bye bye …GQP….

  7. What? He voted on policies so he voted Walker? And he went on TV to say that to the world? WTF!

  8. Thank you Georgia 💪💪💪💪💪😘💙💙💙💜💜

  9. Voting in a stupid dumbocrat is a total loss for the state. You had one job and you failed. Good luck

  10. Thank You Georgia..now let’s get on with it

  11. If Herschel wins in Georgia, I fear most Georgian's may be suffering from a catastrophic mental disability. If that happens, we are in more trouble than I thought.

  12. WORDS OF WRONG = 2022 !!

    All are born as an innocent child

    Till misled by others along the way.

    God has always loved His children

    Though it breaks His heart when they stray.

    The selfish of heart never repent

    They have no sense of shame or sorrow.

    Worshiping dominance and the dark side of life

    Abusing victims today and tomorrow.

    Samson, Solomon, Moses and David

    Were chosen by God to stand tall.

    They faced great odds and the fear of death

    Refusing to ignore their call.

    The time has come for the souls of Earth

    To reject to the words of the wrong

    Standing firm against lies where they exists

    Never to be fooled no matter how long?

  13. Get ready for the republicans to say it’s A fake election

  14. These Republican supporters will cut off their noses to spite their faces!

  15. What were Walker's issues: Not knowing whether to be a Vampire or a freaking Warewolf!

  16. Look Georgia voters are not excally the sharpest tools in the shed !! Good example mtg!!

  17. I hope each commenter can sandwich their observations with an emphasis on how close the race is. I liked how the first half of this segment handled it. The other commenters also tried to give their observations in a reserved tone, but saying that one side has the lead (even if it is true at that point) can cause the reverse of that observation to become true. I understand that as a news show, you can't be silent on the current election trend but I think the key is what tone you leave off the segment in. It's important to emphasize at the end that things could go either way. That's the only true prediction you can make. And maybe place more focus on what each side is thinking (like the first half of this segment) rather than which side you think has the advantage.

    In these divided times, any predictions of results can affect voter turnout and help the opposite result become true. People on both sides think it would be catastrophic if the other side were to win, and fight extra hard when they think their side is about to lose. This is different from the old days, when many voters merely preferred one candidate over another and may have stayed at home if they thought their preferred candidate was not going to win.

    This wouldn't be a problem if the side that has the initial advantage also tended to vote as hard. But nowadays there are always multiple other things taking our attention – things we feel we could be missing out on. People always feel pressed for time and find it harder to devote an evening to voting if they think their side is going to win anyways. The psychology is different from when people think they are about to lose – in that case, urgency or anger kicks in.

    We need a word for this phenomenon in modern elections. It is like the opposite of a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think it affected Trump's surprise election to presidency, the unexpected result of the BREXIT referendum, and the stopping of the predicted Red wave in the midterms.

    News shows need a new strategy to handle the reporting of polls and preliminary results because it is not possible to report the trends without affecting the results (often in the opposite direction).

  18. Could it be more obvious that the power grabbers have put an incompetent individual in a position to cause destruction?
    HW is not the guy to be a senator.

  19. Herschel Walker needs to be asked whether he supports Tre45on's platform to "terminate" the Constitution. All Republican officials in the House, Senate, Governorships and Candidates for Presidency need to be asked the same question. We need to know who are the traitors to our Constitutional Democracy.

    Voters split on the character and competence of the candidates? Seriously? Warnock is a reverend has run a church, so that is evidence of character and competence in public service. As for Walker, he is a character (wants to be a werewolf, abandoned his kids, allegations of domestic abuse) and what competence would he bring as a public servant?

  20. What person in this country with small piece of brain vote for democrats who has destroyed this country in just 2 years and all election has irregularities

  21. Do all politicians have poor character??

  22. The only one with any character is Warnock. Walker is a cartoon character at best!

  23. Raphael Warnock again y'all

  24. Gotta love this country. Everyone gets a shot

  25. Guy Sounds like Most "i'm with that party so no matter how Not Qualified the Candidate is i'm still voting for that party". Vote 4 who you think is Best Not the Party!!

  26. huh. Most Georgia voters don't know where their voting site is, and many Dems voted early to avoid the drunk militia members and voting limitations. So, this may be another episode of the GOP shooting itself in the foot. Serves 'em right.

  27. Anyone that agrees with the senile tyrant potato head 96% of the time is either evil or stupid. In Warnocks case, I fear that it is indeed both.

  28. Walker supporters are 🤯💀. They just never learn.

  29. It's all rigged don't waste your time

  30. COME ON WARNOCK GROUND WALKER YUR THE BETTER

  31. DEMONCRATS ARE CHEATERS!!… I STAND ON THAT… NO ONE IS VOTING FOR THEM FOR REAL… DON'T LET THEM FOOL YOU

  32. DON'T FOR WALKER VOTE FOR WARNOCK

  33. I’m a Republican but I know how this works. I know how the post Covid voting machine operates. I have Warnock winning by over 60%.

  34. THE ONLY REASON WHY WALKER ISRUNNING IS BECAUSE TRUMP ENDORSED HIM AND HE TOOK BLOOD MONEY

  35. WLAKER GO AWAY CLOWN YOUR NOT A POLITION YOUR EX BALLPLAYER WIHT NO EXPERIENCE IN POLITICS

  36. Stop lying for political leverage…start telling the truth.

  37. Turning people around to vote. It's always something.

  38. Unicorns and pitxy dust wardustnocker hey…. lol 😂

  39. Sounds to me like there might not be enough dead voters for the Democrats
