Warnock collects $17.2M, Walker $6.2M in Georgia Senate race By Jeff Amy

ATLANTA - Republican Herschel Walker’s $6.2 million in fundraising looked impressive when unveiled Wednesday, until Democrat Raphael Warnock rolled out his $17.2 million total a half-hour later.

The dueling Senate campaign numbers underlined two truths. Georgia is again going to be one of the most expensive races to run for office in 2022, and Democrats are building a strong fundraising advantage.

Like Warnock, Democrat Stacey Abrams heavily outraised incumbent Republican Brian Kemp in the race for governor, collecting almost $50 million compared to the $31 million Kemp has brought in over a longer period. Abrams and Warnock plan to run closely linked campaigns, echoing many of the same themes.

Looks like Herschel may need some help. We need this seat if we are going to take back the Senate. Kemp is probably going to be OK, which is a good thing. The last think we need is Abrams running future election processed in GA.

Warnock gets his money from out of state like fat ole Stacey does.

Kemp is only slightly better than stacy.

And 17.2 million is small potatoes. The U.S. economy is several trillions a year, every year.

That is what Democrats are fighting for. Everything. Democrats want to control everything.

And one more Senate seat is a big deal.

We are getting more and more thugs running for Congress/Senate . . . and learning everyday many were already elected for years and years and years.

Money is power and power is everything to the Democrat Party. When the feds send money to the blue states a lot of that money is kicked back through back channels to Democrat politicians, their lobbyists and front groups, and to the state Democrat party and then to the DNC. There is a reason a RAT running for a county commission or school board seat could have hundreds of thousands of dollars and more in their campaign war chest. It isn’t just wealthy contributors.

Walker is in trouble in Ga. certainly not the best candidate. The only hope is for DJT to campaign/rally with him in an attempt to pull it out,

$17.2 million is chump change compared to their sweetheart deals with Beijing.

It’s a drop in the bucket compared to their no show, no work patronage jobs.

It’s a miniscule payback for ensuring billions of dollars of grift from “equity and diversity”.

Herschel hasn’t helped his campaign. Hiding children was a big mistake. That and he is dumb as a bucket of rocks. He definitely doesn’t write his own tweets on Twitter. I hope he can somehow pull it off, but it’s not looking good.

Only a point or two down. This is very winable.

I see polling showing independent voters are splitting their tickets Kemp/Warnock.

Walker was a horrible choice. Same for Oz. If either man pulls through, it's only because they were swallowed up by a massive red wave. Other than that, I fear the Dems may hang onto the senate.

It’s basically California senate and gubernatorial elections as far as D money goes.

It’s mostly those liberal tech billionaires that cannot die off (naturally speaking) soon enough.

Remember, Hillary outspent Trump heavily in 2016. Money is not what inspires votes, message is.

George Soros has many devious ways to hide his contributions to socialist candidates.

Georgia is a prime example.
