Things are going badly for Sen. Raphael Warnock in Georgia. According to polls Warnock is trailing Republican candidate Herschel Walker, which is why his campaign called in some reinforcements, including Barack Obama. Obama tried to dismiss Walker as a “celebrity candidate” who you wouldn’t trust to fly your plane: Obama: "Some of you may not remember, but Herschel Walker was a heck of a football player… does that make him the best person to represent you?… let's say you're at the airport & you see Walker & you say, Hey, there's Herschel, Heisman winner. Let's have him fly the plane!"...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Less than two weeks before the U.S. midterm elections, with Democrats on verge of losing their razor-thin majority in Congress, the party is asking former President Barack Obama to perform some late-game heroics - or at least help limit their losses. With Biden’s approval among voters hovering at 39% according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, it is the former president, who is assuming the role as the party’s closer in the final days. “He's probably a better ambassador for swing-state Democrats than Biden is, since he's more popular - especially in the competitive states - and less...

Republican Congressman Ralph Norman declared Wednesday that everyone knows Joe Biden isn’t in charge of anything, and that in reality there is a secretive cabal of elitists that are running America. Appearing on Real America’s Voice, Norman was asked about the possibility of impeaching Biden over wide open borders. “[We’ll] subpoena as many people as we can,” the South Carolina Rep. said, adding “We’re gonna hopefully have consequences starting with [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas, [Christopher] Wray with the FBI. I mean, a whole host of things.” Norman further urged, “look who is behind [Biden], Kamala Harris… she may speak...

ATLANTA (Reuters) -Democrats will call in their biggest star, Barack Obama, on Friday in the hopes that the former president can excite voters in Georgia and help the party hold onto a critical U.S. Senate seat. Obama, a two-term Democrat who left office in 2017, will stump in Atlanta for Senator Raphael Warnock, who faces Donald Trump-backed Republican challenger Herschel Walker, and Stacey Abrams, who is running against Republican Governor Brian Kemp. “Georgia played a determinative role last cycle and could likely be in the same position in a few weeks," said Eric Schultz, a spokesman for Obama. "Given the...

Desperate Democrats deployed former President Barack Obama to Georgia on Friday to try to energize the base to get out and vote for Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock. He focused on attacking Republican candidate for Senate Herschel Walker. Democrats are looking at a strong red wave coming ashore on November 8 and their grip on power in Congress will be over. Nancy Pelosi will be out as speaker of the house and Mitch McConnell will likely be Senate Majority Leader, shoving aside Chuck Schumer from that powerful position. Early voting is underway in Georgia and as of Friday night, a...

Stacey Abrams has now surpassed Hillary Clinton as the least self-aware person in the world. Just a few weeks ago, she exhibited how tone-deaf she is toward Georgia voters by appearing in Athens during an away game weekend for the Georgia Bulldogs. Abrams continues to embarrass herself. On Friday night, with just over two weeks to go before the midterm elections, she could have spent time trying to make her case for why Georgians should let her ruin the Peach State. But instead, she appeared on stage at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena at the Lizzo concert alongside opening act Latto...

Twenty-five million dollars in legal fees were spent by Fair Fight Action, Stacey Abrams’ voting rights group over the past two years. Of the $25 million, $9.5 million went to Allegra Lawrence-Hardy’s law firm – Lawrence-Hardy is the chair of Abrams’ campaign. And Abrams and Lawrence-Hardy were also classmates at Spelman College. Politico reported: The voting rights organization founded by Stacey Abrams spent more than $25 million over two years on legal fees, mostly on a single case, with the largest amount going to the self-described boutique law firm of the candidate’s campaign chairwoman. Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, Abrams’ close friend who...

Stacey Abrams' voting accessibility PAC Fair Fight appears to be paying many thousands of dollars to family and friends of its director who lack political experience or expertise. The PAC, established in the wake of Abrams' 2018 loss to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, is doling out cash - to the tune of $178,000 - to people close to the PAC's director, Andre Fields. When confronted by the accusation, Fair Fight told Fox News it was launching an internal investigation.

Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that her opponent Gov. Brian Kemp (R), is a voting suppression architect. Last week a federal judge found that Georgia election practices challenged by a group associated with Abrams did not violate the constitutional rights of voters.

Failed gubernatorial candidate (and current gubernatorial candidate) Stacey Abrams has claimed since 2018 that she really won her initial race. She claimed that the only reason she didn’t actually win was voter “suppression” laws in the state of Georgia. She was so adamantly invested in this narrative that she started a group called Fair Fight Action in order to champion her cause and continue to gripe about her lost election. It was much to her chagrin that her complaints were smartly swatted down by a federal court judge last Friday. Through her group, she attempted to prove that Georgia’s “Jim...

Planned Parenthood has quietly changed its website to match comments Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams made Thursday about fetal heartbeats. Abrams said Thursday that "there is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks," adding, "It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body." Planned Parenthood changed its website without any acknowledgment of modifications to say that under the five- to six-week mark of pregnancy, "a part of the embryo starts to show cardiac activity. It sounds like a heartbeat on an ultrasound, but it's not a...

A federal judge has ruled against an organization founded by Stacey Abrams, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee for Georgia, stating that the state’s election practices do not violate constitutional rights. The decision from U.S. District Court Judge Steve Jones marks the end of a four-year legal battle. “Although Georgia’s election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the constitution nor the [Voting Rights Act] VRA,” Jones wrote. “Having held a non-jury trial and considered the evidence and arguments of the parties, for the foregoing reasons, the Court finds IN FAVOR of Defendants and against Plaintiffs.” Fair Fight Georgia, which...

For millions of mothers and fathers each year, going to a doctor’s office to hear their unborn child’s heartbeat is one of the most important milestones in early pregnancy. But prominent Democrat Stacey Abrams publicly claimed ultrasound technology that enables parents to hear that heartbeat is instead a patriarchal plot to control women’s bodies by creating a “manufactured sound.”“There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks,” Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said during a Tuesday event at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center in Georgia. “It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have...
