democrats are already mobilizing for warnock who is a star in the party with a very bright future. fred hicks is atlanta-based political strategist who worked on 100 of campaign in georgia, and he joins me now. fred, the factor here that people are going to is that this is a special, kemp is not in the ballot, he will be campaigning with walker on saturday for his seat, but how much do you think that will affect the turnout? chris, you said it right there. this is all about turnout. there are some structural differences between this runoff and the last one that we are just talking about. last time in 2020, you had two months you had absentee voting which was very strong. you had drawbacks it everywhere. republicans changed those rules, and so we basically had very little to do in this runoff, and drop boxes are looking inside of the facilities.
has received the most votes for u.s. senator in three consecutive elections in just the last two years. how is that possible? that man is united states democratic senator raphael warnock. he got the most votes when the seat came up in a 2020 special election, but since neither candidate hit 50%, georgia requires a runoff. warnock had to win it a second time in january of 2021. just last week, it was the same, only a two-year term, and once, again raphael warnock got the most votes. but again, not 50%, and so yet another runoff. on december 6th, he will try to win for the fourth time against the same bad republican candidate that maybe last week, herschel locker. for the runoff, republicans are going to have to adjust their messaging. you recall the meeting to lead up to the midterm election. this is how republicans campaign for water. if we can win in georgia,
between hours and 9 to 5 in most cases. all herschel water has a big obstacle a big number to overcome, senator warnock and democrats, we have a lot that we have to do to overcome the structural issues created by s v 202. how much do you think that it does change the race on the ground? last time, it felt like the race these races tend to feel like they get re-run again in some ways. i guess the question is, does anything change in four weeks in that before one of the big questions was who will control the u.s. senate. now the question is squarely, which of these two individuals do you want representing you in georgia? absolutely. georgia has been the laughing stock of the country in many respects. our friends all over, new york, california, they ask how is herschel walker even competing? my response is, this is still georgia. i think with nevada coming in for democrats right now, it was
to be a neck and neck race this time around. herschel walker will not have republican which probably helped him out. democrats are already mobilizing for warnock who is a star in the party with a very bright future. fred hicks is atlanta-based political strategist who worked on 100 of campaign in georgia, and he joins me now. fred, the factor here that people are going to is that this is a special, kemp is not in the ballot, he will be campaigning with walker on saturday for his seat, but how much do you think that will affect the turnout? chris, you said it right there. this is all about turnout. there are some structural differences between this runoff and the last one that we are just talking about. last time in 2020, you had two months you had absentee voting which was very strong. you had drawbacks it everywhere. republicans changed those rules, and so we basically had very little to do in this runoff, and drop boxes are looking
