@LindaSchoenberg sorry, describing the reality of intra-party dynamics does not = “helping” a candidate. I’m not going to lie to you and pretend he’s irrelevant or weak with Rs. And I said nothing of the general elec, that’s a different conv. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is the heavy favorite for the 2024 nomination and will remain so unless/until a viable alternative comes forward to rally the base against him. So far there’ve been no takers. Publicly defending him & secretly hoping he goes away has been the GOP elite strategy since 2016. — PolitiTweet.org

Real disposable personal incomes have fallen to early 2020 levels as stimulus dries up and inflation takes a bite out of what's left. It's not hard to see why voters are anxious — this is "the economy" that people feel most personally, not the unemployment rate or stock market. https://t.co/D2LFjMPcID — PolitiTweet.org

Raphael Warnock has an abstract line on this, boasting that he backed “the largest tax cut in history” for Georgia families. But the cash ended in January after Manchin plus a unified GOP killed BBB, and it’s hard to get voters to reward you for a benefit that’s no longer around. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing a lot of these voters have in common: they’re partisan Republicans and flipping the Senate is very important to them. That question I did ask, and the answer was always resounding. If Walker ends up winning despite all the baggage this could be why. 4/4 — PolitiTweet.org

These voters are clearly aware of the allegations against Herschel Walker and on some level are conflicted about backing him. But they seemed quite motivated to get to yes and needed to justify looking past his issues—to themselves, first and foremost. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

“Everybody’s got a past,” said one man supporting Walker. He’s “admitted” his issues, said a woman, who added that he wrote a book. Warnock has a “turbulent past” too, said a second woman. Walker has “been forgiven,” said another man. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting tidbit from talking to Herschel Walker voters in Georgia today: I didn’t even mention the myriad allegations regarding him but a number of them volunteered reasons they overlook all that when I asked what’s motivating their decision. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
