see you soon. it s getting close to midnight on the east coast and still waiting for final results in that special election to fill that final open seat. want to bring in my analysts and commentator john phillips what s wrong. i feel left out you re all in new york i m here in the sunshine all by myself of. that s the last question you will get in the panel. all right. so, i gave away your thunder a little bit because you were texting me. yeah. you were like next time i m going to say it s off the record. on that ground. you said you know jon ossoff. he s 30-year-old former congressional staffer, documentary film maker. i didn t know the film making side but we worked together on capital hill i got to work with john with congressman johnson and lewis came together to plan
our jobs initiative when black unemployment was sky high at the time and we wanted to go out and do something in the community and john kept his head down, got the work done, he s an amazing guy. i was saying since we re all on in back ground, live, reading my text, i was telling terra that one of the things that i said was oh, my god it would be great but i didn t know he would get this far i think it speaks volumes about where we are. what s it say 50% democrat in that position what s it say. i think it s major and another thing that came up david axel rod was saying he has not done a lot of work in that area, that s not true we re talking about fulton county, parts of other counties he has done work
kept the goal to 50% that s the goal to get this to a one off run off but if he indeed is actual will you ending up, hillary clinton had 47% in the district in 2016. right. if he s able to go above that, add to that, it shows he has room to grow beyond what the democratic presidential nominee had. if you are on the ossoff team looking ahead to the run off you don t necessarily put your head in your hands quite yet. you see a real path here for kpret competitive race even in a one-on-one situation. so david, this is to you, john who? john ossoff. most say john who. he s a 30-year-old political unknown who didn t even live in the district but became the front man in a proxy fight for something that is much bigger, right. no question. he s the generic democrat. sprung to light. he has no real history.
