jeff row by the way worked on glenn youngkin s campaign. every expert i ve been speaking to on the ground here says that this is significant, that this is very likely going to a recount and that that is a very big deal. i just got off the phone with al schmidt here in philadelphia that runs a non-profit and an expert on the issues. he told me this is by far the most high profile race that if it had a recount, that will be in a recount and it could, as you mentioned there, change the ballots of power in congress. what s interesting, hallie is what i ve been hearing from voters, all right? we ve been talking to people on the ground here for months, and i have heard so much skepticism of oz from these folks. i mean, they were wondering if he lives in this state. why a talk show host is running for a political seat, and i watched the debate with some
times. i had real discussions with him and real detailed answers. i felt there was a sincerity there. i will say dave mccormick was not my first pick. jeff bartos was the best candidate. but the high profile race, he s not getting any traction. martha: so kathy barnett came up here towards the end of this. tell me what you think about all three candidates who are neck and neck right now? well, certainly a competitive race. i believe that kathy barnette has had the best approach. it was a grass roots approach. she went from people to policy rather than taking policy to people. she got to know people. she invested heavily going across all the counties in p.a.
the highest profile race, a lot of money and we want to find someone in our nominee who can win this general election. the race as turned on its head and barnette has increased. i can t provide a lot of context. it is almost 10 years ago that s how far they have to go back to try to find anything on me. we are expecting some severe wets in the area today. the final push to get the undecided voters. dana: you ve been following this race closely. you know it very well. tomorrow we ll see you on the board. bill: we it will be a close one. our fox polling in ohio came very well in the final numbers
because as you know well if trump enters the 2024 presidential contest, a number of these candidates he endorsed and trying to install in other places, he ll walk into that election with far more people willing to do his bidding when he thought the election was fraudulent because he lost. there is a concern among democrats that we are seeing trump s loyalists being installed in state legislatures and various states, secretaries of states who may have a say in how the votes are counted next time around. trying to put his thumb on the scale. talk to us more about that. we saw him weigh into a high profile race this week backing david purdue to be governor of georgia which is a direct challenge to the republican incumbent brian kemp because trump did not let him win georgia. governor races are going to be hot next year because of the
murphy, political reporter for the atlanta journal constitution. good to see you. what will this rematch look like if it becomes one? well, we don t know exactly what it will look like because, as you said, former senator david perdue is actively considering a challenge to governor brian kemp. that is because donald trump has seemed to have made it his life s work to defeat brian kemp here in georgia, even though he is a sitting republican governor. we would have typically a rematch that would look like the battle of the titans, hundreds of millions of dollars spent against the campaigns by each campaign. i think it would be the highest profile governor s race in the country regardless of what happens because stacey abrams has had her own profile race enormously. georgia has become a battleground state with the flips in 2020 and the white house in 202 as well. then we ve got governor kemp, otherwise popular republican governor, but with donald trump out there saying that stacey abr
