Even 51/49, makes all the difference in the world because democrats actually control the senate, it also changes the travel schedule potentially of vice president kamala harris. she's been often having to stay in washington, shuttling back and forth to the hill to be a tie breaking vote. if democrats win the seat today, if senator warnock wins, that means she does not have to be the tiebreaker so often. it really does matter. but that is also why republicans are turning out today because they're trying to be a bit of a check and balance if you will on the president's agenda. >> all right, jeff...

And raphael warnock has the momentum going into this. 51/49 for democrats is a huge advantage, and we know that. i think people know that. but you don't want to go into somebody's household saying, please give me 51 votes for committee assignments. i think geoff duncan and i would both agree things like inflation, immigration, crime, et cetera are the number one issues. it ain't give me the number of votes i need so i can get this flush assignment on this. >> i think we just made cnn history where panelists deferred the answer back to the other guest here. geoff duncan, bakari sellers, i appre...

Up her book tour and we have barack obama coming on thursday, december 1, michelle will be here on the second and third and i wouldn't be surprised to see barack obama show up at a book tour and encourage more people to come out and vote. i'm watching her, it is interesting they are not talking about her being in georgia, particularly in atlanta for two days prior to thisun areoff election, it feels like they are keeping her under radar, not speculating, but something is upon haing there. >> todd: republicans need to hit the message home, rather have 50/50 split than 51/49, crazy things can ha...
