back and he will need those skills because come tuesday we re going to send him running back to texas where he actually lives. reporter: walker, a georgia football legend taking advantage of the bulldogs playing the s.e.c. championship game in atlanta meeting fans at a tailgate saturday but playing the role of underdog sunday calling out his opponent s fund-raising advantage as fueled by out-of-state money. most of his money comes from california or new york. don t even come from georgia. reporter: walker made tying warn to president biden central to his closing argument. our president was in masto. he was campaigning for senator warnock who lives in georgia because of the way senator warnock votes he thought he was a masto senator. reporter: as remaining days turn into just hours in an election fatigued state where they re asking for votes once again the whole world is watching georgia one more time. reporter: so there s the old political adage it may come down
strong hold are doing in the turnout. it is too soon to know. and democrats and republicans alike are saying, you know, while there is no question that democrats have a fund-raising advantage while there is no question there are frustrations about herschel walker not having campaigned for five days over the thanksgiving weekend this is still a tight race. you know, we saw ahead of the general election that there was a similar dynamic where warnock did more campaigning in the final days where warnock had, you know, a significant fund-raising advantage and he still didn t hit the 50% required to win outright under georgia law. he did, you know, have 37,000 votes more than walker. it was tight. we re expecting it could be a similar dynamic heading into december 6th. sabrina, you got reporting on new tactics, democrats are employing an attempt to turn out the vote. what are they? how are the republicans attempting to counter? yeah. so we have seen democrats are
