brian kemp getting 29%. if you come back let s look at the senate race for a second here. herschel walker getting 23% in fulton county. we discussed very early on that governor kemp was overwhelming or herschel walker was underperforming in the largest basket of votes, 10% of the state population. show me the overall senate race right now, warnock again, it s only 16%. but warnock has 386,472 with 59.6% of the vote. and stacey abrams is under that. remember, georgia, there s no unexpecting anybody in this race, democrat or republican. but if you look at warnock versus abrams, she s three percentage points below. raphael warnock in actual votes and, again, this is all just coming in right now, it s very early 16%.
crossing the aisle or maybe they were already there and voting for raphael warnock the democratic senator which is an interesting state of play and gives you an idea of the relative strength of raphael warnock. doesn t mean he is going to win. it doesn t mean he is doing what he needs to do in that regard. the place you see that, you know, most predominantly is in the subvariants arurbs around a is cobb county, 7% of the state population. you see senator warnock at 59%. herschel walker at this is cobb. stacey abrams is at 5%, underperforming to senator warnock. herschel walker is underperforming. herschel walker underperforming the incumbent governor in the suburbs. republicans don t have to win the suburbs. they need to narrow the
democratic congressman joe cunningham to win another four years. and update from tennessee. another reliably red state, donald trump won 60ish percent. vote in 2020, bill lee winning re-election. the incumbent republican defeating icu physician jason martin. a look at key race alerts beginning with that all important race we will not stop talking about in the georgia. stacey abrams had the lead last time. now that has flipped. brian kemp, the incumbent republican, leads with roughly 40,000 votes with 42% of the vote in. notably, kemp above the 50% threshold meaning he could avoid a runoff. texas now. former democrat congress nan beto o rourke over incumbent republican greg abbott. about 26% of the vote in in texas. and update a key race alert from the state of michigan. incumbent democrat tudor fredricka whitfield locked in a
problem for stacey abrams. just to translate for our viewers, that means that there are people who are going into their polling places, voting for brian kemp the republican, and then on the senate race voting for raphael warnock the democrat. or the libertarian. but democrats who are voting for senate and not voting for stacey abrams whether they leave it blank or whether they re voting for kemp or hazel. at the end of the night we ll be able to add up kemp math, there s your number right there. 64,796. just shy of 65,000 so far early in the senate race. and you see brian kemp at 79,000. so brian kemp is getting more votes in hugely overwhelmingly democratic fulton county than the senate candidate. that s an incumbent republican governor, the panel was talking about it earlier whose brand is strong in the state. and, again, if that holds up, if brian kemp is running there, you say 28%, he s getting whooped in
close because that has been overwhelmingly democratic in recent years. this is a rematch, stacey abrams, as boris noted, someone in turnout on joe biden s list of potential vice presidential candidates. a rematch of four years ago. you re looking at the vote right now, you would say, wow, with 13% of the vote in against an incumbent republican governor, the question is, number one, there s a lot of votes still to be counted. you see these masmaller countie around georgia, joe biden won georgia in 2020 but just barely, just shy of 12,000 votes. i want to come back to 2022 in the governor s race. we have a lot to count in the red rural parts of georgia. but there s also a question of what votes do we have and what votes are we waiting for. stacey abrams beginning to pull away in fulton county.
