thing is we all focus on getting over the finish line on tuesday in wisconsin and georgia and arizona and these other key battle ground states so i hope for example in the senate race we get to 50 plus one and herschel walker is declared the winner of the race out right but if we have a runoff. president trump and everybody else that cares about the future of this country need to be behind herschel walker. real quick, donald trump announcing in 2024 you re very close with mike pence, his former vice president. will that have any effect on pence? for example, he s announcing right before his former vice president s book tour is that intentional? i think the president if he gets in, which every indication is he s going to one, deeverythideserves the race. remarkable things help turn this country around and put us on the right path. it will be up to republican primary to decide if it s him, pence they should all get in.
no. where do you see it? georgia is a race that we will win. it will be a very tight race. we always expected that to happen but we ve seen a race that s stabilized and what we re seeing on the ground, we ve got unprecedented numbers of folks who are doing early voting right now. ballots are actually in. we know those ballots are great ballots for us that are coming in. a lot of dell mocrats are turni out the vote. the get out the vote operation is getting what it s supposed to do. are you winning out right or will there be a runoff? very close. out right. there is a good shot it will be out right but regardless, we re going to end up winning in the end. senator, there are two states with open republican seats. ohio and north carolina. do you have any regrets about not investing more in those two for potential pickups? well, we do have the very great candidates in both of those states running strong.
actually buy a ticket. i ve heard that. [ laughter ] all right. senator, thank you for joining us. appreciate it. always a pleasure. thank you for having me on. okay. thank you. back with our panel. sounded like a true lottery commissioner. really. really. buy a ticket. [ laughter ] scott jennings? yeah? thoughts? he and rick scott are very similar. they predict they will win every race on the entire map and that s their job. that s their job. look, i think some of these democrats aren t going to return. he can t say that but we certainly can. nevada as i mentioned is the one i think they re in most danger. on georgia, i know he said they have a chance to win it out right. i got to tell you, i talked to walker people last week and the pollster down there is pretty confident about that race. pennsylvania is the one that just continues to vex me. some days i wake up and feel great and some days i wake up and i don t know, i was trying to get the pollster on our
at the dscc we invested unprecedented amounts of resources in the get out the vote effort. we knew the races would be extremely close and battle ground states nationally and by definition, a battle ground state will be a very close election and i would have told you that a year and a half ago if you asked me the question are these going to be close races? i d say of course they are. that s why we have turnout operation that i m very confident will end up with us winning all those four races. my job as the chair is number one is to bring back all of our incomekcome incumbents and we do that, we ll be at 50 with the majority. last week chuck schumer was caught on a hot microphone saying pennsylvania is looking good. you re picking up steam in nevada but going downhill in georgia. is that where you see the race right now about a week later? no, not at all.
and i think we were in alignment. it was just so close out there. pennsylvania is the type of race, too, where because you have the celebrity power of somebody like dr. oz but also that comes with some higher negatives than you might see for other candidates but that s a race where gravity may be pulling things one direction but there is so much unusual stuff whether it s fetterman s health or dr. oz makes it more complicated, certainly not making predictions on that. you know the good news? we have somebody in between us that knows a thing or two about pennsylvania politics. i can t predict that one. eloquent thing. exactly right. dr. oz had a very difficult primary. i thought fetterman is going to have one a. rising star congressman he did a tough primary. fetterman beat him bedecisivy and to his credit, congressman lamb backed fetterman completely. the democrats united completely.
