trump. they are saying they would be willing to take him on in 2024. we ve heard some of the biggest donors say that they will not vote for donald trump. they will not support donald trump. and it is time to move on from the former president. they need this win. they are keenly aware that if walker loses, donald trump will be blamed. he didn t just endorse walker. he hand picked him. he recruited him. this was the candidate he wanted and they know that trump will be blamed for this. so all to keep in mind, they are looking, hoping for a win tonight in georgia. appreciate that. we ll check back in with you. i m here with the team in new york. would a win for walker have any energizing effect on the trump campaign? no. it would be probably one high note in a very, very no-good terrible few weeks for the former president. to put a finer point on the report, he made an announcement. it was ringing with conspiracy theories. it didn t have the momentum that
try to turn out voters for the runoff. regarding walker on this residency issue, everybody knew he lived in texas, this is talking about before. to acquit him to dr. oz, dr. oz was not a favorite son of pennsylvania. herschel walker is a favorite son of georgia. and everybody knew he had lived out of state and then come back to run for the senate. to me, it s a non issue. the bigger issue is what ron raised earlier. can you get republicans back out one more time and can brian kemp convince a few more republicans who voted for him to pull the lever this time. the reason the vote matters, by the way, is because of the filibuster. it doesn t mean control of the senate, but if you get democrats closer to changing the filibuster rules, that might matter to a lot of republican voters. got it, ron, last word, quickly? real quick? five states made joe biden president by switching in 2016, if walker loses, we will have trump backed nominees who lost in all five of them this year
the encouragement from within the republican party especially if many are turning their back on supporting him now, i feel like he s going to move to his own drumbeat. do you think he would find his way into georgia anyway and try to stump for herschel walker, or might he not? i think if the walker campaign wants him to come in, i could see him doing that. on the other hand you could imagine a scenario where the trump camp thinks if we go in, have a rally for walker and then walker loses, that compounds the problem of not getting the desired red wave that would make trump a two-time loser in one cycle. i would say the odds are they will stay away unless there s a massive push from the walker people to get him in there. what s different this time versus the run-off in 2020 this
i want to bring in kristen holmes. new information from your source about the former president s plans to announce another run for the white house. that s right, anderson. so the invitations for that event, which is tuesday, are anticipated to go out as soon as tonight. this despite the fact that so many of trump s advisers and allies are asking him not to announce until after the georgia runoff. they are telling him he will be blamed if walker loses, that him announce willing pour money into the race for warnock as well asner jazz democratic voters. now as for where trump s mind is, yes, he is still planning to announce on tuesday, but he is also very focused on one person, and that person is florida governor ron desantis. there is no questioning the fact that desantis has had an enormous amount of momentum after his win. we have seen multiple republicans, including conservative media essentially out the desantis as the new leader of the party and throw trump to the side. and that h
