"Four years ago they've essentially been running against each other nonetheless I think it also speaks to Trump's influence that his chosen candidate in this race David perdue did not fare well at all whereas his other favorite candidate Herschel Walker did very very well and was called the winner early on in the night against his calendars including one relatively well-known statewide agriculture commissioner Gary black What about that set of race between Warnock and walker is anyone in immediate favorite Warnock has a lot going for him in terms of record that he can point to in the Senate He also has name recognition now Maybe not too great name recognition out in rural areas but walker I mean you think about it He was a star UGA football player He's been a businessman and he has Trump supporting him 100% At least in his primary that proved to be a very strong weapon As I'm sure you know we wouldn't normally focus on the Secretary of State's race but Brad raffensperger famously resisted president Trump's efforts to overturn the election there He's got to get 50% of the vote or I understand he's in a runoff What do you think is going on there A lot of people were thinking maybe about a year ago that raffensperger was basically not going to survive a reelection effort And the support that he's seen is pretty astounding It appears that a lot of state leaders have really fallen in behind him to support him Jody hice is running again with Trump's endorsement That's given him some momentum but not nearly enough to defeat raffensperger outright Thomas I'm sorry to leave you just a few seconds to answer this big question but the school shooting in Texas has overshadowed everything the national networks normally would have been covering all these races They're not is any candidate saying anything about gun control or about this plague on our country with these repeated shootings None that I've heard David perdue expressed his condolences but I did not hear.

Are Polls Relevant Anymore? John Mclaughlin and Doug Discuss
"Most of your public polling done by media organizations and others are, they're good, but they a lot of them, and I'm saying a lot, not all, but a lot of them have inherent flaws a lot we've talked about which I think over time has calls people to not trust Poland. And I'll give you an example this morning I was on, I do a radio show and we were talking about polling in Georgia. And one of the interesting stats that came up and this was about the discussion of elections in election integrity and all this kind of stuff was and I had been given some poll numbers by a reputable firm that had basically said this and I'll just generically say this, that among Trump identified voters, you know, because this is something new that I've seen in the last few years that I haven't seen before and that was, are you a traditional Republican or a Trump Republican? And they'll ask about that. And among the cross tabs, like you talked about, one of the crawls tabs basically said that among Trump Republicans down here in a governor's race, Brian Kemp was actually leading David perdue. By 5 points. And so we just said that made a statement, here's what the numbers say. And we started getting text and other things from people who were listening saying that those are fake news. Polls are fake news. Why is it besides the oldest general fight if you hear something you don't want to hear you call it fake? What is call some of the more besides what we've seen in probably the presidential sides, the distrusting of polls and does that hurt overall perception? I think it's part of the overall media bias because the mainstream media that's biased against Republicans biased against conservative biased against president Trump, you know, uses polls to inflict inflict their bias on us in that regard. Because they're trying to manufacture outcomes in elections. One extreme case I gave you that Washington Post poll. But I would think most media polls have been wrong. In that, you know, in the less than the 2020 election, and that's why there was a big conference of the American public opinion and researchers, and that's why they came up with the solution that, oh, Trump voters weren't going on the polls. But they allowed their bias to impact, you know, the science of polling because they wanted to manufacture an outcome. They wanted Trump to lose.

He knows it extremely well. He was part of my chat with Secretary Purdue about the race, the implications the state of Georgia and his cousin. There's all the big nationwide implications, but I want to narrow it very, very down to a personal level for you.

You were in politics there sooner than he was, and he's in really the political fight of his life. Talk about your relationship with Senator Purdue and what you've seen up close and personal with David Perdue over the course of decades. I'd like to do. I'd like to do that, because sometimes so much gets lost in all these TV ads back and forth, so I can tell you personally, Our fathers were brothers. We grew up in Middle Georgia with a large extended family and sort of a never quit whatever it takes kind of attitude are our fathers expected a lot and David. I grew up in that same expected the culture there. And where you were 34 years apart, played together cousins, My father farm that David's dad went into education, the superintendent of education for the local county And, uh, but he'd come out on the summers and we work together. We play together, played sports, and David took the corporate round. I took the small business route and he was very successful Leave find winding up his career as a CEO. Dollar general understands people in that way, understands policy. I understand that people won't government the work so He retired from dollar general came back to Georgia. He and Bonnie had a very comfortable life. Remember him coming to me in 2012 really concerned about the future of our country? And when Senator Saxby Chambliss decided not to run, he came and said, Sonny, we've gotta you gotta you gotta go do this. I said, Well, David, I've already done this and you need to go home. Look in the mirror. And he and they did s so it was a real call the public service. They had a very comfortable life in retirement. And yet David is there for the right reason He didn't need the job and the good thing about it. He's the same person that was six years ago. Washington hasn't changed him is the same character convictions and courage even against leadership when he thinks they're wrong. He had six years ago. Did you have any reluctance to counsel him to run for office? Because it's a rough business. As you know, sometimes politics ain't beanbag. Georgia politics can be very tough. And you know you've gone through that. And then your cousin now over the last few months is really experienced it It seems like every third commercial all over the state of Georgia is talking about what a rotten crook he is. Well, I warned him of all of that. Certainly, And he obviously no one could ever foresee these kind of run offs here in Georgia with the future of our country at stake, But the fact is, that's what I like even more about his candidacy. I told people all over Georgia Be supporting him, even if we weren't related. He was not my cousin because he's got kind of business policy analysts that analysis that didn't we need in Senate.

But Lefler has yet to concede. This is a game of inches. We're gonna win this election. We're gonna save this country. War Knocks. Victory ends more than 30 year losing streak for Democrats in statewide run offs It also leaves control of the Senate. Up to the state's other runoff between Republican David Perdue and Democrat John Also off the contest remains tight, with all soft ahead by about 13,000 votes. Gabriel Sterling is Georgia's voting system implementation manager. There's a potential where some of these elections could be within a half a point, So the second place finisher will have the opportunity to potentially ask for a recount again. So I've currently has 50.1% of the vote. Well, Purdue, is it 49.9%. Some absentee votes have yet to be counted. And as many as 17,000 military and overseas ballots are due by Friday. President Elect Joe Biden's agenda hinges on the outcome. Jeannie's A No, is a Bloomberg News contributor and professor of political science at Iona College. All the things that you know Biden has talked about wanting to do. I'm not suggesting he'd be able to do all of them, but certainly you two have a lot better shot. If you have a Chuck Schumer controlling that gavel versus a Mitch McConnell. But even if Democrats do take the Senate, the majority remains small. More on that from Bloomberg News contributor and former McCain campaign manager Rick Davis. Just because you have the majority and you can set the agenda doesn't mean you get your gender past and their big, close sentence, close houses. It's only a 10 vote margin in the House of Representatives that Speaker Pelosi has so any given issue is going to have defections with levelers loss, Republicans must hold on to produce Senate seat to keep their hold on the chamber, though it may take days to determine the final outcome of that race.

Man. Congratulations to Christian would the last five games he's putting MBA All Star type numbers up for the Rockets. He's a good kid, so I'm actually Very happy for him. Some people that I will not be happy for. If they win this Georgia runoff would be David Perdue and Kelly left, or I think left there is an awful human being. She didn't even want to give $600 in. Stimulus checks to her own people. Meanwhile, she owns five homes and she's a billionaire, and she dumped stocks tried to profit off the Corona bar is just an awful human being. David Perdue is an anti Semite s O. B is far as I'm concerned person he's running against also happens to be a Jew. Jewish and all had an I s H two. That to sound appropriate and Purdue made fun of the length of his nose in one of the campaign ads is just another awful human, But you have to awful people that are running. In this Georgia rough, so we've talked a lot about How there are some GOP leaders that are actually angry. About Trump's recorded call, but they're not angry about what Trump said. And how inappropriate the call was. They're actually upset. That Trump was recorded. I want to go to cut 24. If I may and then cut 24. This is David Perdue, who was asked on Fox News to speak about this phone call. But listen to David produce response. He didn't complain about the substance of the call How Donald Trump might have broken the law in pressuring these drugs, election officials to find votes. Listen to what David Perdue is actually upset about before we get t the substance of your campaign and the opponent shouldn't get your reaction to This. This tape that's been leaked your states secretary of state on there talking with the president. How do you think it's going to affect the election on Tuesday? I don't think it's really gonna affect our election. I'm still shocked that a member of the Republican Party would take a sitting president and then leaked that that's disgusting. In my view. That's his response. This is someone who you would vote into office. What a scumbag! Former representative Kelli Ward, a Republican head of Arizona said, I don't record my calls with the president of the United States. It's humbling to have the opportunity to speak with the leader of the free world. Betraying the trust of the honor of those conversations is abominable. I'll tell you what's abominable you, Kelly, your abominable But the fact that that's what your problem is the reason why they recorded the calls was to protect themselves. And by the way, Donald Trump, I guarantee you he was recording the call as well. Now there are some people out there. Some Republicans out there that are are calling against it right there that against this actual phone call, Thank God most or not, though most are not You know that we first learned of this guy Sterling? By the way. His name is Gabrielle Sterling, and he's the election official who's also the manager for voting system implementation. In the state of Georgia. And he held a press conference yesterday.

"He's up against Republican Senator David Perdue, Emma for people who have somehow missed this news briefly give us an overview of this of this call. Yes. So the president and some of his advisers spoke with the secretary of state in Georgia and some of his attorneys and members of his offices well to talk through, it seems some of the grievances that the president has had with George's election system. Meanwhile, the secretary of State's office has really set itself apart in Georgia by refusing to acknowledge voter fraud, widespread voter fraud by saying, Look, we know that our election system was secure that no widespread voter fraud happened and this is the president. Trying. Tonto basically convince the secretary of state it seems to help him find find votes to flip the state, which you know, as the governor said last week that barn that horse has left the barn and Georgia it's It's in D C now with the electoral college vote, And so this was just Really? Um, you know, the president has been talking about voter fraud on Twitter for weeks now, but to hear it in this call to hear him lobbying. A state official like this and to hear the officials calmly refuting these claims and calmly, you know, saying, Mr President, That's not true. We we can't do that. Was really remarkable. What we got this message from David on Facebook, who says 3.5 years ago, I heard a pundit predict that following Trump's base, rather than having a core platform would destroy the Republican Party. It will be interesting to see how the party reacts. If they lose this election, Brian Kemp is wise to distance himself from it. Last week, the president once again, said Georgia's Republican governor, Brian Kemp should resign. We should mention Rapids Burger is also a Republican. How is this shaking up Georgia's establishment on the Republican side? You know, there's the morale among Republicans that I've spoken to today and yesterday is not great. Right now. This is you know, it's it's not. This is new, but it's following a path that we've been going down here. Um for Republicans in Georgia, where the president has been openly criticizing people that he used to endorse, including Robyn's Burger and Governor Kemp and really sowing confusion among Republican voters. He's telling people to vote tomorrow in the run offs, but at the same time, you know, questioning that the system and November calling it you know, saying it was fraudulent and so There's just been this whole mess of messages coming out of the White House. And the big worry right now, for Republicans, of course, is if this you know if this dissuades just a couple just a couple 1000 Republican voters From turning out tomorrow. That could be the difference in what are really competitive Senate races Give us a snapshot of the race as it stands right now. How close are these races? Really close. I mean the polling. It's the polling is has been too close to call for some time, but I think what we've seen kind of has a higher level narrative is at the beginning of this. You know these road the Republicans races to lose. Republicans outperformed Democrats in these two Senate races in November, even though Biden did narrowly carry the state. And, um, and here we are, You know, the day before the election and given the president's rhetoric and the kind of the civil war that has erupted in the Republican Party where there really wasn't one before. It's it's looking. It's looking even closer than people might assume because Republicans Air the incumbent party in Georgia, and so Republican voters tend to turn out better. They're better at voting, right Andare more reliable, particularly for races like the run offs, But you know these. These clearly aren't normal run offs, so there are a lot of people who are going to be voting now and so those those normal rules about Republicans winning run offs. Might not apply here. I'm a very briefly put the early voting numbers in into perspective Force more than 2.3 Million people have already cast their vote. What does that mean for this election? Yeah, it's it's actually grown. It's now more than three million, and that is turnout. That's below the 2020 run on 2020 Turn out, you know at this time in early voting, but we've got nearly 120,000 new voters in this runoff number. It didn't vote in the general. So that's another important number that everybody's looking at. We're talking about tomorrow's Senate run offs and Georgia with Emma Hurd POLITICS REPORTER it W A. B E. That's Atlanta's NPR station. Now today, both the president and the president elect are heading down South. Donald Trump will rally in Dalton County for the Republicans. Joe Biden will rally in Fulton County for the Democrats. One of the would be senators, Biden is rallying on behalf of his Democratic candidate, John US off his campaign slogan is Vote Your Ass off. He's up against Republican Senator David Perdue. And he joins us now to talk about his bid. John, I know you're having a busy week, so thanks for making time to check in. Thank you so much for having me Hello from Augusta, Georgia. We just finished a rally with Reverend Warnock. But we should also note that we asked all four candidates to join us in the invitation still stands So as of December 30th year, one point ahead in the polls. That's according to Fivethirtyeight Average of all run off pulling the election was head to head Now the run off his head to head Where do you see your best path to victory? This is all about energizing record shattering turnout, and we're encouraged by the turnout. We've seen an early vote, particularly among young voters and black voters. We've building a historic coalition in Georgia that really represents the rise of New South. Since the early 19 seventies, the Republican strategy in the South has been to divide people along racial and cultural lines so that people from different backgrounds failed to grasp their shared economic and health interests. And here in these two all important Senate run offs and Georgia Now you've got the young Jewish son of an immigrant mentor by John Lewis. That's me running alongside Senior pastor at Ebeneezer Baptist Church, a black preacher who pastored John Lewis. That's Reverend Raphael Warnock. And that represents how far Georgia has come in the last 10 years and indeed, over the last half century. Well, we got this message from Lisa on Facebook. Who says Georgia voter here? I wasn't thrilled with either of my choices. I only voted for one of the run offs because I could not in good conscience vote for either candidate. And the other for people who are concerned about the division of power in Congress. You say one party controlling the House Senate and presidency is too much power. How do you respond to that concern? Well, look. If Mitch McConnell and Republicans maintain control of the Senate, the result will be paralysis and gridlock. Think folks will remember how Barack Obama was treated by the Republican Senate. In his second term, McConnell and his caucus will exercise power ruthlessly for powers own sake. They will block Progress that we need. They will block the covert relief that people need. I mean, even right now, with a Republican president who supports $2000 stimulus checks. And a Democratic president elect, who supports $2000 stimulus checks and overwhelming public opinion. Supporting generous direct covert relief for the American people. McConnell is blocking $2000 checks. So imagine what he will do when it is a Democrat in the White House, increasing the minimum wage. He'll block its civil rights and voting rights legislation. Hill Block it the kind of investment in infrastructure and clean energy that we need. We'll block it, so the choice here is between progress and paralysis and the people of Georgia are voting in record numbers for progress. Do you see this as a Mitch McConnell issue or a Republican Party issue? Well, look, Mitch McConnell is who he is on the nature of Washington right now, sadly, is such that divided government will yield.

Joe Biden will be president in three weeks time and whether he controls the Senate as well of the house, has he? No. Obvious implications on his legislative agenda, judicial and Cabinet appointments. The hearing schedule is set by the majority leader in Congress. So if that's Mitch McConnell he can effectively block and Republicans can effectively block any appointment. But Democrats winning both of these seats would give them a 50 50 Senate, which would give Vice President Harris as the president of the Senate, the ability to break ties. If either of both of these races fall to the Republicans, it means that Mitch McConnell has an effective veto power over the Biden agenda.
