handel leading by 800. i ll look at the three component counties. this is dekalb, the democratic base here. you re looking at about what osoff got out of there. this is about what she got. this looks very close to a repeat of that special elections last year with handel night quite as strong in make sure it hasn t changed. an 805-vote margin. karen handel looks like barely again, the democratic strength around atlanta. kemp is leading in the governor s race. but the democratic energy in the atlanta area brought this thing four points closer, basically, than the special election we saw last year. i think has rob woodall on the verge of defeat in the seventh district. in that mcbath/handel race,
trump is going out there with this message just reeks of hypocrisy. this is a president who won an election, who campaigned using incredibly inflammatory rhetoric. this is a candidate who at his campaign rallies used to urge his supporters to beat up protesters who would come to his rallies to protest his messages. he s somebody who has consistently, each and every person on the list that was targeted today and endless others, has used inflammatory rhetoric against them. so it s interesting to have the president now saying that this is the moment for civility. indeed. our guests have agreed to stay with us. we re going to take a break and continue. and coming up, the president at a rally tonight calling for peace and harmony as we mentioned while taking another wide swing at the media. and later, important news. a big ruling in georgia today that could impact the already close governor s race.
handel ahead in this race. interestingly, in the poll, stacey abrams, leading in this district by a point. so, could abrams help mcbath, the democratic candidate? and next door, the seventh district. suburbs just outside atlanta, traditionally republican. but trump did not do as well as republicans normally do. the republican incumbent, only ahead by six. that shows you, democrats, if they get that extra burst of energy, this is one to keep an eye on, potentially, on election night. that seems like ten years ago, the ossoff/handel race. steve, thank you. look forward to seeing you the next time. coming up, a big story that almost got left behind today, when the 11th hour continues. i m alex trebek here to tell you
hey, brian. and some new news on the governor s race in georgia. obviously, one of the most closely watched in the country. brian kemp, the republican secretary of state, leading in the poll by one point over stacey abrams. keep in mind though that there is a third candidate here, the libertarian ted metz getting 4%. and why is that so crucial is because georgia is sort of unique among states. they have a runoff provision in governor s races. if neither kemp nor abrams gets 50% in november, if metz gets a few points, keeps them both under 50%, there is a runoff. that runoff would be held on december 4th, and that is the wild card there. and in the race, the intensity, the high interest in it, we may be seeing a bit of a ripple effect in two congressional races in georgia. democrats trying to pick up 23 seats. here s a blast from the past. about a year, year and a half
suburbs, the democrats if they can get that extra burst of energy, this is one to keep an eye on potentially for election night. that seems like ten years ago, the ossoff/handel race. steve, thank you. look forward to seeing you the next time. coming up, a big story that almost got left behind today, when the 11th hour continues. i m alex trebek here to tell you
