and thank you so much for joining us tonight. you can follow me on facebook, instagram, twitter and the tiktok on jake tapper. our coverage continues with the strong laura coats and the mighty alisyn camerota as ahead off on this thirsty thursday to do what i do best, sit at my kitchen table and drink. i feel like we have to step it up with the superlatives. i lifted his car one time and i m strong. one time. i don t need a sue perlative. i m just i don t need hype girls. i don t need hype girls. you are just you. you have no power here. good-bye. we re keeping the conversation going tonight. apparently i m strong and you re mighty. i love that. i m laura coats in washington, d.c. i m alisyn camerota in new york. one team here with me. and the other team, the right one, in washington, d.c. here with me. we will look at two key states that people have heard a lot about and one that we haven t been hearing enough about and frankly it is flying under the radar,
Us were watching and saying, so more. he was taking the higher ground, michelle obama approach. this is a pastor. he s being respective. but by not being direct, it seemed like herschel walker was more genuine, more of an advocate in the way even though he hasn t said much about his policies or what he s going to do. i don t think the window is closed, but i think that that gap we saw at the debate had to initiate some sort of action after it. to your point, reverend warnock is more powerful being a positive messenger. when they put out ads he s not standing there lambasting someone six feet away. i think georgia will run off in a run off a couple months from now because you need 50% or more to win outright. there is a third candidate pulling around 40%. georgia might be the focus of the political world for a number of weeks after. and walker has the benefit of
Hit herschel walker as good as he could ve. he sort of pivoted away from his own policy of abortions instead of saying who knows what you did, we know that you have an absentee father. we know you have not been around for at least three of your children? i think to be completely real, a lot of us were saying and watching say more. he was definitely taking the higher ground, michelle obama approach. this is a pastor, he was being very respectful. but by not being, direct it made it seem as if herschel walker was more authentic or genuine, more than advocates in this way, even though he hasn t said much about his policies or what he is really going to do. i don t think the window is closed, but i do think that gap that we saw at the debate had to initiate some sort of action after it. i think to your point, reverend warnock is more comfortable being a positive messenger so when the campaign puts out ads, it s not necessarily the rhetoric lambasting someone is just standing six feet a
Reproductive rights is perhaps democratic s biggest advantage in georgia and other races. i think he s trying to leave nothing on the table. they are neck and neck and surprisingly after the herschel walker reporting came out, he had the biggest fund raising period that he s had yet in his campaign. so i think the warnock folks we calibrated and said we do have to weigh into this. we can t let it get out of the headlines. this race is gonna be neck and neck, which i can t believe i m saying, but i still do expect. governor kemp in the gubernatorial race is outperforming steady stace y abrams, and abrams has run more on the abortion issues. warnock as being running more in the economy and democrats accomplishments that he s framing, like the inflation reduction act. so the last moment is weighing into this, i think it s smart to leave nothing on the table. this will be a close race. did you think he missed an opportunity? i think in the debate he didn t
