joining me now, steve kornacki and vaughan hillyard and mark murray with me in washington. steve, take us through how senator warnock improved his showing in some key areas of the state compared to november, while walker did worse than expected in republican strongholds. yeah. i think this is the key. two ways of looking at this. start with the core democratic area, which is the atlanta metro area. warnock had done very well there in november. remember, statewide in november, he finished almost a point ahead of herschel walker. reason why he finished ahead in november was metro atlanta. one of the things he wanted to do was do what he did in metro atlanta and maybe a little better this time around, and you can see warnock did that. cobb county, for example, warnock ends up with 59.5% of the vote. i think what s most striking, that s a three-point jump from how he did back in november.
