I don’t see Walker winning the smaller Red counties are largely in. The larger counties which are running up big Democrat margins are the ones with the most outstanding votes. It is a wonder tome that it has not already been called.
While the NYT now has Walker up by 11k, it also has him at under 5% to win—DeKalb, Fulton, and Henry haven’t budged in votes reported in ages. That is where the bulk of the reported outstanding vote is, and all that needs to happen is for the purported votes to show up in slightly better fashion for Walker than the counties have been running and he will end up losing about 50.5 to 49.5.
Most of Henry came in, and some of Fulton, and Wallker falls behind. DeKalb hasn’t budged.
More likely he'll lose 52 to 48. MAGA base isn't as motivated to vote, it seems. The black vote is motivated.
Drudge is calling it for Warnoc 51-49
Having Warnock win is a shot across the bow of the MAGA movement. It is meant to demoralize the Trump wing of the party. The emphasis on having Democrats (or cooperative Republicans like Kemp) holding the governorships of the six states that were disputed in 2020, as well as holding the Senate, even with the mentally disabled Fetterman and the slimy Kelly, was important. They were willing to concede the House, but by an eight or nine vote margin, rather than the 25 or better many expected. The Uniparty can count on McCarthy to quash any serious investigation into the Biden crime family, FBI and DOJ corruption, etc. Both McCarthy and McConnell were present in today's ceremony for the Capital Police, so we know what side they are on.
A major tactical goal was to block Trump in particular and conservatives in general. A secondary goal was demoralization. The Uniparty succeeded in all its goals.
