the host of indy advisable charlie sykes. casey hunt, set the scene, set the stakes. how do democrats claim victory with less than 50%, how do they make the case for just how red this district is? reporter: brian, the expectations game here, i think got a little bit out of hand. more democrats and this 50% threshold. you can see and kind of hear behind us that this party is still going strong. it s a bigger party i saw for a lot of the republican presidential announcements that i went to over the course of the 2016 campaign. they ve been trickling out the door a little bit as we wait for the final returns in this race. right now ossoff is holding steady, just over 50%. we re anticipating that the vote still out is likely to bring that number down below 50% and lead to a run off.
