Senator and is seen as a strong favorite. there were a lot of questions as to whether this was a shot across the brow to florida governor desantis largely seen as trump s most formidible republican opponent in 2024. just making sure little marco won t run against him, his nickname for him. now it is ron desanctimonious. outfront now, the executive director and founder of the center for election innovation and research, the coauthors of the big truth, upholding democracy in the age of the big lie. so, you know, you talk about this book, major, as a cause. you wanted to be sure people knew the truth. start with where we are now. more than 40 million pre-lex ballots have already been cast. 40 million americans have already voted in early voting in 47 states, way ahead of anything we ve seen before. what does that tell you? it is way ahead of the midterm in 2018 which is the benchmark. and it tells us that there s a
Especially meaningful and poignant because he is a husband of former congresswoman gabby giffords who was shot at one of her political events. thank you very much. in georgia, another one of the most closely watched senate races in the country, and one that could take a long time to know who wins. the incumbent democrat warnock is neck and neck with the republican herschel walker, today walker on the trail hammering president biden. somebody in the republican party, is he crazy? the biggest threat to a democracy is to have him in the white house, is it not? let s go to atlanta tonight, and herschel walker made it actually all about biden, right? it wasn t about warnock but biden again and again trying to tie his opponent to the president. obviously he believes this is the winning strategy in these final hours.
