Athena jones is in allentown, pennsylvania. Georgia is one of the most closely watched senate races in the country. What are you seeing down there now that the entire country is really focused on whats happening . Reporter it is. The reality is more than 2. 3 million georgians have already cast their ballots. It is extraordinary when you think of that. This race after spending a few hundred million dollars, this race is as close as any in the country and far closer than democrats had hoped it would be. Of course senator Raphael Warnock was just elected in january, 2021, and is trying to run for a full term now but is facing a stiff challenge from republican Herschel Walker. Spending time on the road today with the Walker Campaign this race is closing in a deeply personal way. Herschel walker of course is a legendary georgian. He talked about football a lot. Georgia obviously had a big win last time against tennessee. He invoked that and is hoping hell have the same sense of victory on tuesday. But really trygg to link senator warnock with the biden administration. Really trying to say that the challenges in the country right now from the economy, inflation, immigration are all the at the foot of senator warnock. From his part senator warnock said Herschel Walker is not up to the task of being a senator. Hes called him a pathological liar. This race is closing in very stark terms but the reality is it may not be done tuesday night. The reason is georgia is one of the few states in the country, largely southern states, that the winner has to get more than 50 . If neither one gets 50 it goes into a runoff. And that is december 6th. It almost feels like the end here but you also get the sense it may not quite be i love how you said obviously georgia beat tennessee. You knew that, right . Of course we did. Obviously. Thank you so much. Jeff, lets go now to omar. Undefeated bulldogs. Okay. Omar, lets go to you and talk about ron johnson who is in a heated fight to keep his senate seat. Where do things stand tonight . I will say just here in wisconsin we also knew about the georgia and tennessee game. That came all the way up here, too. I know you knew. This senate race in particularly, i know, you couldnt miss it. This senate race in particular, this is one where it shows no clear leader between the incumbent ron johnson and Challenge DemocraticLieutenant GovernorMandela Barnes both in the final less than 48 hours looking to find some sort of edge. Clearly, on the attack. Lieutenant governor barnes was out campaigning with the president of Planned Parenthood today. Also with the chair of the dnc. He told us their strategy in this final stretch is to meet as many people as they can. Meet people where they are. And to not take any votes for granted on some of the most important issues. Now, thats been on the tail end of a hundred plus stop rv tour. Senator johnson has been on a bus tour of his own out and about in wisconsin today but ending it tomorrow along side former governor and u. N. Ambassador nikki haley. He has drawn heat for not fully committing to the results of tuesdays election saying he wants the process to be transparent and he hasnt seen that full transparency yet. Again in his eyes. He has doubled down on that partly due to a case out of milwaukee of a former Election Official who allegedly obtained fake Military Ballots for voters. They are saying this process worked as it should have because this person was caught. That said, there are going to be a lot of people here looking for any tiny bit of significant in regards to how this election unfolds. One of the many places folks will be on edge. Thanks for that. Now to athena jones. So John Fetterman vs. Mehmet oz, they are in a nail biter. What is going on in the great commonwealth of pennsylvania. Of course the democrats are desperate to hold on to the senate given all the indications theyre likely to lose control of the house. Pennsylvania is the partys biggest opportunity to pick up a senate seat. Retiring senator from the gop, pat toomey, has left an open seat. You have oz vs. Fetterman. This has become one of the most important and Expensive Senate races in the country and is also a seat where weve seen a lot of president joe biden. He was born in scranton. This is one of the states he was able to flip in 2020. He is one of the big names out on the Campaign Trail in the final days really trying to drive turnout. That is what its going to come down to both sides stressing turnout. Oz bringing out former president donald trump. President biden and obama hitting the trail for fetterman and the democrats. Yes, polls do suggest this is close. That is why there is so much emphasis on turnout. Fetterman making a reference to an early win in a mayoral race saying this is going to be a nail biter and come down to maybe a single vote. He won the mayoral race by a single vote. Urging his supporters to get out and hit the polls if they havent voted already. On the oz side we saw him ask his supporters to not just focus on republicans arguing they are already in our column. Now is the time to talk to conservative democrats, independents, people also concerned about the economy and inflation and may not realize they are odd supporters. Go out and talk to them. One interesting thing at his rally today at one point they asked who had voted already in the crowd and hardly anyone made a noise but they all said theyll be coming out on election day, fitting the pattern across the country where democrats have been more likely to vote early. One of the Big Questions in pennsylvania is how soon will we know the results . They are not allowed to begin opening the early voting ballots until 7 00 a. M. Election day. It could be a long night here as in other states. Thank you so much in allentown, pennsylvania. I want to bring in democratic congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina. He is the House Majority whip. Thank you for joining us tonight. Thank you very much for having me. So President Biden just a little while ago this week predicted that democrats are actually going to win. He used those words win. He said they might pick up a seat in the senate and potentially hold the house. Do you agree with that assessment . Yes, i do. I have traveled quite a bit. Eight or nine states in the last ten to 12 days. What i see in fellowship halls, union halls, i see and feel something different. I know whats being reported. I know what the history is. As you know, i do not argue with history. I study it. I used to teach it. I know it is very instructive. Theres always been some outliers there and i can remember on two occasions in the congress when conventional wisdom did not hold. I feel that this could very well be the third time since ive been in congress. Well, since you are, have been crisscrossing the country as you just said and you also are perhaps one of the best experts weve got on the Democratic Party and the constituent groups that comprise it there have been some groups particularly black voters and hispanic voters that i think some folks have been raising some alarms about, questions about whether those groups are going to come out for the Democratic Party. For example a cnn analysis found that democrats in this cycle have a 7716 percentage point advantage among black voters on the congressional ballot but that is actually down about ten points from this time in 2018. So if that holds it would be the smallest margin that democrats have won black voters since 11 1990. When you go out in South Carolina and other parts of the country are you concerned about whether democrats are able to mobilize black voters . Im always concerned about mobilizing voters. Especially young, African American voters. A lot of whom seem to have given up on the system. Ive talked to a lot of young people who look back at what happened january 6th, 2021, and are wondering, how could Something Like that happen . And our government seem to be handcuffed . These young people dont understand that. I have a hard time trying to get them to understand how slow the wheels of justice turn. So yes. There is a lot of disenchantment. They would love to see us respond more appropriately. They are very upset that things like that happen and they hear the blame being given and no kind of accountability being assessed. So, yes. All the young people who are disenchanted, and not so young people are disenchanted as well. But do you think your party has done a good job in this cycle of trying to reach those voters . We got elected and joe biden got elected to arrest a country that was seeping in oblivion. All of this pandemic we were coming, losing jobs by the millions. Losing lives by the millions. And i think we did well with the rescue act. Weve done the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Weve done the chips and science act. Weve done the inflation reduction act. Weve done the pact with our veterans coming back from iraq and afghanistan and weve done the Safer Communities act. We have had the most Productive Congress that weve had in this country since 1965. I believe we will continue to do that if democrats remain in charge. You cant do it all at one time. What we call the Civil Rights Act of 64 really took eight years. 64, voted in 65. Applied to the Public Sector in 72. Eight years. We act as if it all happened in one fell swoop. So we have begun to do what needs to get done and if we stay in charge well continue to do that. At the same time, protect the social security, protect medicare, and do what is necessary to bring the price of medicine down i do want to turn to something that happened just today. You know its been over a week since speaker pelosis husband paul pelosi was brutally attacked in their home in san francisco. Just today this unfolded at a rally held by former president donald trump. Take a listen. Were going to end crazy Nancy Pelosis political career once and for all. Once and for all. Under biden, pelosi, schumer, and the radical democrat congress, florida workers, and families, are under siege. This was just a group of people where crazy nancy pelosi, by the way, how is she doing lately . How is she doing . You heard those lock her up chants. What is your reaction, congressman . Well, you know, i grew up in the south. I met my late wife in jail protesting. I know what this country has been through. I know what the history of the country is. I also know what the History Of The World is. And what we are seeing coming from this gentleman is a return to global problems that engulfed the world back in the late 20s and early 30s. That is what i am more fearful of than anything else. I dont care what we do about the economy. If we do not have a democracy, you might as well close shop. I am very fearful that kind of foolishness could very well catch hold and ruin this country. We are almost out of time. Very quickly before you go, if donald trump seems to be intent on running again. If President Biden decides to run again in 2024 will you commit to supporting him . Absolutely i would. Look, im older than joe biden. I play 18 holes of golf in the morning, eat a sandwich for lunch and go out and play 18 holes in the afternoon. Everybody ages differently. And so i dont know why we keep talking about the age thing. If he is healthy, and productive, ill support him. If hes not, im sure he will let us know. All right. Congressman jim clyburn, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me. That was very telling at the end there. Very much so. I think joe biden is probably resting easy tonight. If there is one person he wants in his corner in 2024 its jim clyburn who is basically responsible for him winning the presidency in 2020. Exactly. By endorsing him for South Carolina. Great interview. Up next, well listen to what rnc chair Rona Mcdaniel told me about the potential for voter intimidation. And were also going to look at what were seeing out there already when it comes to the notion of voter intimidation. Youre seeing some of the photos there on your screen.

Questions loom about voter intimidation. I spoke to rnc chair Rona Mcdaniel today about what weve already seen in early voting locations across the country. Here are some of the things going on. In arizona weve seen right wing activists with guns and Video Cameras at drop boxes. In north carolina, reuters is reporting officials tracking more than a dozen instances of Potential Intimidation or interference. In michigan, your home state, one group is encouraging people to set up cameras to capture license plate numbers. What is your message to people intimidating voters . Nobody should be intimidating or breaking the law. Nobody should. Poll watching is not intimidating. If youre following the law we sent out guidance. This isnt happening from the rnc. We sent out guidance to our Poll Watchers. What a lot of people dont know is the rnc couldnt do this for 40 years. We were under a legal order we couldnt have Poll Watchers and now we can. The democrats always had that. That is really unbalanced. If youve been at a poll place youll see they are simply observing and it helps us at the end give assurance to the voters, listen, we were there. We watched it. It went well. I think there are other things we should do. Voter i. D. Get rid of ballot harvesting. 80 of americans think we should have voter i. D. You mentioned the rnc. You have a very big organization. We do. Of Poll Watchers out there right now. I want to go back to sort of underscore. What i just described could continue in an addressive way. As the Top Republican in this country right now, your message is do not break the law. Do not attack or intimidate people trying to vote. In any way, shape, or form. Not at all. Also dont intimidate our Poll Watchers because we have that right now, too, where our Poll Watchers are not allowed to meaningfully observe. That is an important part of our democracy that both sides democrat and republican should be able to meaningfully observe so we can go out and say listen, we saw it. It went well. You are trying to recruit Poll Watchers. We have. Youve been on Steve Bannons podcast. Yes. Multiple times. And you are asking him to help recruit and his listeners to help recruit Poll Watchers. Is there any concern about using that outlet on this issue when it comes to potential for harassment . No. Im never telling people to harass. Of course youre not i would never do that. Im saying please go sign up. It is the number one thing i hear across the country from my voters. I am very concerned about the election. I want to make sure it is fair and transparent. Joining us now, cnn political commentators with congressman jones, a new york democrat, and also back is republican strategist and pollster. Nice to see you all again. Welcome to you. Thanks. Well start with you. What is your reaction to that . Sort of more broadly the notion of voter intimidation. Voter intimidation is very real. What i would want to see from the rnc chairwoman is more honesty about the purpose of recruiting from outlets like Steve Bannons show. The purpose is to intimidate folks from exercising their constitutional right. This is part of the big lie. The idea that somehow it was mass voter fraud which is rejected by every court that considered it and being used now to deter people in certain communities from going out and voting. We see it in florida for example. Weve seen Video Footage of that. Im glad she wants more people engaged in the process. I understand the concerns about the particular outlet you mentioned and recruiting specifically from there. One thing that sticks out
