Warnock and Walker make their final pitches to Georgia voters in Senate runoff.
Incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker are making their final pitches to voters in the only remaining Senate midterm race in the nation: the hotly contested Georgia runoff.with 50 seats, a Warnock win would solidify their majority in committees. A Walker victory would weaken the Democrats' grip on the upper chamber.
More than 1.8 million voters have already cast their ballots in early voting for the high-stakes runoff, slated for Tuesday. Friday marked the single biggest day of early voting ever, according to Georgia election officials. Both candidates are pulling out all the stops in the race, which drew high-profile support this week. President Joe Biden phone-banked for Warnock in Boston and former President Barack Obama made his second trip to the Peach State for the incumbent. Walker pulled out his own star surrogates, including top Republican senators and Governor Brian Kemp, who said:"We need Herschel Walker in the United States Senate."Republican voter Reid Simmons said he supports Walker.
"I'm a lifelong Republican more than anything" he said."I think 50-50 is far better than 51-49 either way.""I'm ready for this to get behind us," she said, adding,"democracy is at stake."
