look at raphael warnock s number. look, that s today in the runoff. 76.5% of the vote, look at what it was on november 8th. he was at 73.5%. he overperformed here. okay? take a look next door, in cobb county, back in november in general, he had 56.8% of the vote there. today and cobb county he overperformed his general election performance. 59.3%. we can go over to gwinnett county, today he had 62.1%. back on november 8th? warnock was at 59.8%. you see, he overperformed where the voters were. and in three of those largest counties, herschel walker underperformed what he did just four weeks ago. this was a battle for suburban, independent voters in this critical area. in georgia. and the atlantic area, and the critical, suburban population here. and warnock show that he had the ability to actually
democrats stood up for democracy, ultra maga and send them back to the senate. here s to six more years. and now to who was starting to get out there. so let s pick it up where we left off. you know, paul was talking about forsyth county. we were talking about how that had changed, and whether or not the state, how deeply it may or may not be changing in democrats favor. so one thing we have to remember, and you guys brought it up on the other side of the table earlier, people need to feel seen and heard. and one part of the problem is, and you brought this up, alison, a minute ago. you said that being in the center. sometimes that center leaves all the other sides out. and these are some of the reasons why we are finding such extreme behavior in politics now, because people are feeling like i m not seeing, i m not, heard you re not talking to me. now, what raphael warnock did,
hello and welcome to our viewers. in the united states, and around the world. i m casey, hunt live in washington. u.s. senator raphael warnock says the people have spoken, after his second hard-fought runoff in the last two years, cnn projects he will win the election, and fuller term as senator. he repeats republican challenger herschel walker, it s a fitting end to a disappointing midterm cycle for the gop. gop only had minor gains in the house. they re actually in better shape than they were before in the senate. they hold the chamber 54 to 59. it was previously 50/50. that does give the majorities and every committee. why is that important? it helps them process
he s the guy who introduced me to bill clinton, which created my whole career. i love him. but in the history, a decade ago. i m working for barack obama super pac. he lost gwinnett county, one of those giant suburban counties you just showed. he lost gwinnett county by ten. barack obama, a talented politician. and he won by four. and for forsyth county, which was he got 17%. that s it. 17%. reverend warnock today got 34. even though it s only a change. and 4%. it s 4%! so the senate is changing, and the candidates are changing. of course, i love [inaudible] but he did a perfect job in reaching out. and adding to that, or beginning with a base of young people, african americans. it s a very hard thing to do. and a large party, but the state is changing. let s put a pin in this for
about 60% or so for warnock in the general and black voters and asian american voters we ve seen them grow as a bigger block that has appeared to go more democratic than republican so far in the past election, cycles and so that s what these groups have really harness, they knocked on someone when i was there that they were nearing potentially more than $3 million that they had locked on across the state. and we re engaging voters across the state, and anyone they could, find to tell them that they needed to go out vote in the election, and the other sat again, in the early vote. democrats have focused heavily on that early vote. focused heavily on mail voting in a way that republicans have not. partially because, former president donald trump has attacked mail voting. he says that he thinks that republicans should vote on election day. [inaudible] georgia s changing. i ve worked for [inaudible] back in the day. he is one of my mentors.
