thanks for sharing your perspective with us. congratulations. thank you, chuck. up next, why what happens on tuesday in georgia matters for the future of control of the senate in 2024. enough was enough. i talked to an asthma specialist and found out my severe asthma is driven by eosinophils, a type of asthma nucala can help control. now, fewer asthma attacks and less oral steroids that s my nunormal with nucala. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don t stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. talk to your asthma specialist to see if once-monthly nucala may be right for you. and learn about savings at nucala.com
we re not going to know this until december 6 skpgt the count after. so, you make the point. senator kelly is leading here right now. over 100,000 votes if you re in his campaign. you re somewhat optimistic, but you have to keep counting. that would get kdemocrats to 49. the republicans leading here right now. that would get republicans to 50. republicans need 51. in this scenario, republicans would still need georgia. if democrats win georgia, it s a tie again like it is right now, and the vice president breaks the tie. if she keeps closing the gap and take the lead, then the democrats can get to 50 with arizona and nevada, and then georgia is a trophy. it s critically important to the people of georgia. you would rather have 51 than 50, but that would be the challenge. so, how much georgia matters. of course it does. it s a big state. it s a big senate race. how much it matters depends on the outcome. it s 50/50. the vice president of the united states is the president of the
whether this race in georgia matters for control of the senate will be determined by nevada and arizona. and i think democrats have been counting on arizona. so republicans are looking for a tightening of that number. everybody expects it. they didn t make much head way in this latest. reporter: dethere are mail-in ballots that can be received until saturday. so there are several dates to come. i think you would agree that they would like to see a narrowing of this. would it change everything. if somehow they got ahead of kelly and we held on to nevada. that would make georgia irrelevant. the republicans i talked to in nevada are much more confident in laxalt holding on. lake is very close. there s an expectation that sometime during this count, you could see her go ahead.
Well, just to bring you a little bit behind the scenes here, alicia. We know, all day yesterday, topwhite house aides were working the phones including the president , himself, for a portion of it. To try to ease some of these tensions and these feathers that were clearly ruffled. Republicans, upset by the president linking these two things together. But clearly, that didnt work. That wasnt enough. So they had to release this very lengthy statement. More than eight paragraphs in the president s own voice with a commitment saying, essentially, to the two parties, i understand, to the gop, why you might be a little bit upset by what i said in that press conference. But to democrats, rest assured, i am still going to pursue the traditional infrastructure bipartisan package. While also wanting reconciliation process, the one that doesnt require republicans, which democrats had already started down the road a couple of weeks ago. So, he is saying, to the two parties, this was not meant as a
