ex-urbs. bartow county, it s much smaller. come over here, cherokee county, this is some math. 2 1/2% the state population. then you come here to forsyth county, the eighth largest county. so you have two large republican exurban counties here where brian kemp ran fantastically well. and herschel walker ran well but not as strong. herschel walker s you no taken the lead again. in the race for the margins, welcome to the seesaw as it comes in. you say we re at 76%. and i m going to keep checking in to ask where are we still looking. and yes, herschel walker has taken the lead. if you re in the democratic campaign headquarters you say calm down. let s be calm, let s wait, let s check in an hour when we get more of these votes. that s the story of this race, 50-50. only 2,288 votes ahead. but the republican herschel walker taking the lead again in the seesaw. started off with warnock on top, then we had walker on top, then we had quar nok on top, then walker on top. again, it
republicans run it up, you ll see when you look at it this perspective on the live outstanding votes much tinier circles. that means a smaller piece of votes out there. most of your votes are out here. and again, there are some republican ex-urbs north of atlanta, west of atlanta. but predominantly the votes are now the traditionally blue areas. republicans said they would surprise us today the election day votes. that s what s still being counted in these areas. so the math is there. the color tells you if you re in the warnock campaign, the color tells you yes, you might have a bit of a seesaw still. 18,500 votes when you round that. but the map is filling in in a way, swing county here, swing countriy here that are still blue. the warnock campaign is saying okay, looks better now than it did 15 minutes ago, let s hope it stays that way but we ve got a lot of counting to do. when we get more vote in we ll have to go back and take a look at whether herschel walker is matching what h
significantly outnumber at this point the share who approve. what that means, historically that athletes into more intensity on who votes and also a higher percentage of the people disapprove voting against the president s party. that s the real issue for republicans in congress. they have lashed themselves to president trump and there are parts in the country some of the red state senate seats up where that s fine. but in the places where the house will be decided districts that are in suburbia orp extend from suburbia out to the ex-urbs, the president is more kwiskle position. and the republicans bound themselves to him. as long as they hold the majority they are not performing overstriegt or constrain him. you mention the john mccain earlier. it seems the country is just yearning for civility. a lot of the coverage has been leading up to this funeral on the president s handling of mccain s death. asked if he missed an opportunity to unite the country the president respondwood this
ex-urbs, in the middle of the country, where they have an aging workforce and no innovation. and they re bleeding look, if you have a young person with talent, skill, education, they leave. they re going to cities or coming to the coasts. absolutely. you know, doug, he brought up immigration. cbo did another report that said the one positive on immigration. and this report, everybody is focusing on the shrinking of the labor force, and it s shrinking, they re saying due to health care, but immigration would offset it. this is the key point. the native born population, we don t have enough kids for the population to grow. all of the future population growth is based on immigration choices. we could do serious immigration reform augment the labor force, build our skills and grow a lot more rapidly. that s a key part of the debate and should be front and center. it should be more of a jobs they projected 9 million jobs in 20 years if the senate version of the immigration l
folks. that was wrong. you saw significant african-american turnout. 20% of the electorate. he did better with women than hillary clinton did. he did, you know, ed gillespie won loudoun county when he ran for the senate and northam won it by 20 points. a good message in the ex-urbs and suburbs. he wasn t scarey to independents. he ran a very, very good campaign. and i think what was also good about what happened in virginia is that the virginia democratic party was ready with a lot of candidates in the house delegate races. talk about the other sort of obviously winning the state house is a big deal but there s already a democrat there. but there were some historic interims made let s start with the fact that republicans had a 66-34 majority in the house of delegates before election day.
