this is a once deep red state that is starting to look a lot more purple lately. joe biden won in 2020, along with not one, but two democratic senators, and because of that upheaval, it is also a state where republicans are trying to claw back their political power. donald trump s allegations of fraud still loom large here. in an effort to overturn the election. it failed and he is under investigation for it. and his lies and voter integrity have widespread changes in how georgia votes, fewer drop boxes and voter i.d. and restrictions who can give you food and water inline and perhaps most importantly a new law that gives the state legislature more power over elections, taking some of it away from the secretary of state. right now, there are around 7 million active voters on the rolls, down roughly 700,000 from the high water mark in 2020, but still, a remarkable number in the midterm year. do they all show up? and if they do, will they vote on party lines? or split the ticke
poised for a big wave? high inflation, gas prices, the continuing covid pandemic, president biden s party is facing voters in a very bad mood this year. all republicans need to do to win the senate is to pick up one seat. it sounds easy enough, but are they actually in the process of shooting themselves in the foot? how about former president donald trump, is he helping or hurting the gop effort? and if he does end up hurting it, will he end up hurting himself, when it comes to 2024? what about the end of roe v. wade? is it mobilizing democrats? and then, there is that major shift that we saw in 2020. hispanic voters abandoning democrats and voting republican. it is accelerating even more this year. 99 days to go. let s get to it. let s start at the place where at least, for me it s all gonna end in 99 days from now, or i should say, it will start to end 99 days from now, because elections no longer take place in one night. it will be election week this year. i think that is
who said that warnock that walker does not show good judgment? almost all democrats, no surprise there. look at that. nearly 30% of republicans said. wow. that walker doesn t show good judgment. nearly three out of four independent voters said that he doesn t show good judgment. so he there is brian kemp showed you in november there s a universe of voters out there willing to vote republican statewide. kemp got 53.5% of the vote. those voters kemp got walker couldn t get, do they turn out tomorrow? do they stay home tomorrow? if they turn out, do they hold their nose and vote for walker or vote for warnock. two things when you are talking about the split-ticket vote, do you think it will shift anything now that kemp has come out for walker as he did not in the run up to the midterms, a? b, what will you be watching for tomorrow night? what is the timing going to look like for everything? 7:00 p.m. eastern time polls close in georgia.
democrat by four points in that race. it raises the interesting possibility, to me, it is seen there in georgia something that might be an opportunity for democrats elsewhere. brian kemp went to war with donald trump, and he won. trump ran in the primary, but brian kemp won. he won big. did that make kemp more acceptable to swing voters in georgia? in a way that maybe herschel walker isn t? can you see a split ticket vote in georgia, where that s a decisive factor? yes, i think that can happen, georgia is such an interesting experience because i think that states like georgia or michigan literally on the frontlines from november to january of 2020, those voters play really deep attention, and they ve been deeply affected by. and the fact that in georgia, a republican state s been
coming in possibly tonight where kyrsten sinema could pick up. it s up in the air. it s fascinating about the arizona races mick sally you saw independent voters, suburban women which we ve talked about leading up to the election do a split ticket vote in arizona, voting for republican governor and that democrat female candidate for senate. that s why i say i think republicans have some very hard lessons to learn about arizona, especially when it comes to the machine. this is a classic example where the governor is incredibly well-liked and did get those independent votes. bret: let s play the if game, if sinema pulls out a win in arizona, and nelson finds the votes in florida, you have a
