At Georgia governor debate, @bluestein asks Brian Kemp what he intends to do about gun crimes if he's re-elected. "We’re going after the people doing these gun-related crimes," Kemp responds, saying he wants to bust "street gangs" and work with "all law enforcement" on solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

At Georgia governor debate, @BrianKempGA is asked if he regrets appointing Republican @KLoeffler to fill a US Senate seat given that she went on to lose to Dem Raphael Warnock. "Well no. Not at all," Kemp says. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Warnock cranks up his criticisms of Walker, mocking his “fake badge”; he says Walker lied about being a cop, working for FBI, graduating college, being valedictorian. “He expects the people of Georgia now to hallucinate and imagine he’s also a US senator. He’s clearly not ready.” https://t.co/kwCwbvMImt — PolitiTweet.org

Early voting begins tomorrow in Georgia. In Atlanta, on @MSNBC, reporting the top two races in this battleground state—a Senate battle pitting Raphael Warnock (D) vs Herschel Walker (R) and a gov race between Brian Kemp (R) and Stacey Abrams (D). For now, both incumbents lead. https://t.co/CctrLuBUCz — PolitiTweet.org

A low-key unmasking of the 2022 election cycle is how few voters actually care about red ink. Republicans have all but given up on this; libertarian candidates across the country are trying to seize on it to win votes—and there's barely any sign of it catching on. — PolitiTweet.org

Georgia Senate candidate @ChaseForLiberty (L) trashes both parties on deficits: "We can't really trust the Democrats or Republicans who are currently in leadership right now to [balance budgets]. Because my entire life they've been deficit spending like it's going out of style." — PolitiTweet.org

More Warnock: "And when asked about that he really hasn't given account for this kind of violence. And I want to know from him why he thinks he's ready to represent the people of Georgia and if he's ready to face up to this history of violence as he talks about representing us." — PolitiTweet.org

Raphael Warnock to Hershel Walker's empty podium: "I'd ask him about this disturbing history of violence that we've seen from him. And we're not talking about one woman, but multiple women. He threatened to kill his ex-wife. Put a gun to her head. He's threatened other women." https://t.co/IbZbKT8Ay5 — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Weird dynamic in this debate where the candidates get to ask each other questions; Chase Oliver (L) is asking Raphael Warnock (D) questions and Warnock is basically ignoring Oliver and using them to attack Herschel Walker (R), who isn't here for this debate. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Raphael Warnock is touting his work with Republican senators like @tedcruz (on the I-14 Corridor) and @SenTuberville (on protecting farmers in the south). "I will do anything, work with anybody necessary, to get good things done for Georgia," he says. https://t.co/tZFnKyhG0b — PolitiTweet.org

Georgia Senate debate happening now in Atlanta. Herschel Walker's (R) podium is empty; it's just Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) and Chase Oliver (L). Warnock: "It's important to point out that my opponent Herschel Walker is not here—and I think half of being a senator is showing up." https://t.co/0xsAuAGsQD — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Interesting: @ReverendWarnock plans to attend the Atlanta debate tonight, even if @HerschelWalker doesn’t show. In that case it’s expected to be Warnock and libertarian candidate Chase Oliver on stage. https://t.co/pOp6SoFuUA — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, it’s an outlier. But it’s striking because Selzer has tended to be right even as an outlier. In late stages of 2016 & 2020 she found Trump with runaway leads in Iowa. Margins are notable because there’s a delta between IA & rest of Midwest. Anyway, file under: big if true. — PolitiTweet.org
