Rafael warnock, letting herschel walker s words speak for themselves, and now knowing this isn t about the balance of power. this is about getting one more, which is especially important for democrats. but it isn t as make or break after nevada. i wonder if the mindset in the voting booths is different after listening to him speak over and over again, thanks to aggressive ad buys by the warnock campaign. mika, i think you nailed it. the voters can actually make it to the voting booth. if they weren t that excited first go around in turning out, they voted for brian kemp and didn t vote for walker, are they really going to come back and vote for herschel walker today. and they might. if i had to bet, i would say no. it s not looking good for herschel walker right now. i mean, who knows. but the early voting number that stuck out for me with turnout. women voted 56% to men voting
Think about another institutional kind of reform issue like this, like campaign finance reform, right? where if you go around america over the last 30, 40 years even before citizens united, go around and talk to people about whether they think money is corrupting in politics, whether they think there s too much money in the campaign finance system, whether they think that something s got to be done to get the influence of big business and finance, to mute their interest and not have this just be a big casino in our politics, man, i can get you very, very high on polls of people who will say damn straight, got to take care of that. and then, you know, we go to the voting booths and we vote on other things. because in a lot of cases these things feel very abstract. now, has dobbs changed that? i ll never, you know, downplay the significance of dobbs. when it first happened, i said i don t know what s going to happen here, we ve never seen anything like this before. and it had an incredib
We would debate politics. let s go to david hogg and let you speak for yourself. the thing is, somebody tweeted, i m not active on twitter anymore, but i sometimes scroll, and somebody said something really smart, the generation that had to go through active shooter drills got their payback in this election. and i m wondering what you think about that, because if you look at even issues like guns which tended to be an issue that if you say guns were an important issue, you tended to vote republican. this time, it swung way the other way. if you said guns were an important issue, you voted heavily democrat regardless of race. what did you make of the performance, the huge performance of gen z and millennial voters in this election? i mean, look, it speaks for itself. as you said earlier, the generation is graduating from their high schools, assuming they survive because unfortunately not all of us do. and we re entering the voting booths. and we re voting out politicians who our entir
Issues that are on people s minds as they tell us when they come out of these voting booths. these are a couple of voters in wisconsin who are just sharing their differing philosophies basically. i think it s really about saving our democracy and making sure that people have the right to vote. kind of fighting the political divisions. so, yeah, it s about maybe we can continue what we ve continued to do. the economy is definitely a big one and to be frank with you, it s just like there seems to be much more care about the sexuality of people and not people struggling to pay their rent or paying their mortgage. and there it is, abdul, they capture it perfectly. yeah. one of the really interesting outcomes of a poll that came out just about a week before the election was that 70% of
Involved in elections than ever before. it s easier to vote than ever before. and you have one party as things are getting better and better lying to their base saying they re getting worse and worse. well, i mean, you re absolutely right, joe. i voted by mail about a week ago. easiest thing possible. fill it out. sign it, everything like that. put it back in the mailbox. guy picks it up brings it to the town hall. easy, but we don t talk enough, i think, al, about the infection that s out there that s been out there now for four or five years that effects not only voters who now have some sense of disbelief that things are on the level because of the republicans have talked about it, but also the dangers it s posed to election officials in local cities and towns who are reluctant to take the job as poll watchers, and there have been some states where as we all know, people armed, armed and dangerous, waiting outside voting booths, waiting outside where people
