tim scott said nothing when asked today about the former president s statements. senator roger marshall tried a new verse of the song didn t see that tweet. i don t hknow what president trump said about the constitution. i don t think that is the issue and what you should be talking about. when told about the comments by cnn senator marshall still did not condemn them saying, quote, i don t know if that has been taken out of context or what or where it came from. again in case you didn t know it came directly from the mind and social media account of the former president. congressman dave joyce of ohio tried a variation on the theme and then would not rule out voting for the former president in 2024. well, yt in 2024. well, you know, when president trump was in office i didn t make a habit of speaking out on his tweet dujour and i don t know what came out on whatever his new social platform was but people are not interested in looking backwards. donald trump was your nomine
sophisticated in that it didn t necessarily have all the hallmarks of additional planning but the fact that they hit two separate sub stations shows they knew what they were doing. they knew what they were going after. my hope is that that gives the law enforcement investigators the opportunity to identify who these people are because they were probably scouting it out. they may have been seen, a small, hundred thousand folks or so in moore county, so not a large county. it is very rural. if you see people that don t necessarily belong those things stick out for the investigators. as we heard in the report the white house press secretary said the white house has worked closely on how the government communicates and shares threat information with the private sector. what more needs to be done on that front? well, i ve got to say that the electricity sub sector is probably one of the most robust public/private partnerships in critical infrastructure security in the united states.
what he did do is a tele town hall directed strictly at maga voters, make america great again voters and the folks that think donald trump should be president again so i think that the walker campaign is very happy that donald trump stayed in florida. i m sure you re right. georgia s republican lieutenant governor jeff duncan said herschel walker and i m quoting him now will quote probably go down as one of the worst candidates in our party s history. that s a direct quote. what does that say that some in the gop turned on herschel walker before the polls in georgia have closed. there is always a sort of never trumper kind of constituency but this person says he s the proverbial skunk in the garden speaking out against trump. the reason this is significant is this a state where kemp got all of those votes, right, that walker didn t. so there is a gap there. in a way this voice represent as
motivates and is mobile wising mobilizing to voters, someone that looks like me and understands what it is to work your way up and to be at the table making those critical decisions that will affect our lives and the other thing, i think, for the warnock campaign that s critical that i m looking for tonight is are we going to hit our numbers in some of the key places where, you know, warnock and walker were close with regards to republican independents where we can hopefully increase turnout particularly in areas we have african america merican voters didn t turn out the first time that say they want a say who will represent them in congress. people that didn t turn out before a few weeks ago. correct. a similar vain. the cliche it does. it does. nothing to say. people in hollywood saying it comes out to who buys movie tickets. of course it does. that said, i m more interested in who doesn t turn out in the
out the vote event yesterday. he has at least three more planned for today. meanwhile, we ve had a hard time finding his republican challenger, herschel walker, but he finally appeared yesterday at a tailgate party before you super bowl title game, which is one by the university of georgia where walker was a football superstar. walker didn t take any questions from reporters. enthusiasm for this race is off the charts, judging by the unbelievable early voting numbers. nearly 2 million early votes have been cast with more to come on election day. so far, as you ve seen, when you have cast the majority of the votes, and democrats are firmly outpacing republicans. now remember, control of the senate is already decided, by, what happens tuesday could still have far reaching implications for president biden s agenda, the future of trumpism, and georgia s role in the 2024 election. joining me now, greg we re political reporter for the atlanta
