CLAY: Right now, Herschel Walker is running against Reverend Raphael Warnock in an election, Buck, that may end up being the deciding factor in who has control of the Senate. There’s obviously a lot of different moving parts, but this is an opportunity to steal back one of those seats that was lost in 2020 in the double loss there in Georgia. Herschel Walker is up right now over Reverend Raphael Warnock by three points in the most recent poll, 47 to 44, which would be a big swing.
And right now, we don’t know who the governor is going to be because they’re gonna have a big battle between Perdue and Kemp to see who is going to be the nominee in the state of Georgia. But right now, Stacey Abrams is down six or seven points. Remember, you knew she was nervous because she didn’t show up for the Atlanta speech of Joe Biden. She claimed that she had a conflict.
Joe Biden’s approval rating right now in the state of Georgia is 34%. So we’re talking about Biden being so far underwater in the state of Georgia that the governor’s seat that Stacey Abrams could lose for a second time — even though she’s never conceded the first loss, she could lose for a second time — and Herschel Walker could help take back the Senate for Republicans by knocking Warnock out after only two years.
And, Buck, the early read here suggests that Republicans may well sweep in the state of Georgia. Months away, lots still to happen, but those are incredibly encouraging signs to what’s going on, based on, again, it’s the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, not exactly known as a conservative bulwark in the state of Georgia.
BUCK: The best thing that could happen for the country — and I would even argue in some ways for the Democrats’ prospects in 2024 — is they lose control of the House and the Senate so Joe Biden can’t do anything. (laughing) It’s like taking away the angry child’s toys. He can’t hit anybody with them.
CLAY: No doubt, and then he gets the opportunity to at least blame the fact that he can’t do anything on —
BUCK: Obstruction.
CLAY: — Republicans who are blocking everything and says, “Hey, if we had the real job here, we’d be hooked up.”
