In exchange for Victor Bout, the U.S. pushed for the release of both Griner and Whelan, a former Marine held in Russia since 2018 on unproven espionage charges. Russia came back with a final answer a few weeks ago: Only Griner heads home — or no one will. https://t.co/VhpG05PUpA — PolitiTweet.org

POLITICO @politico

Since Griner’s detention in February, U.S. negotiators spoke regularly to their Russian counterparts about a grand bargain. Kremlin aides made clear they wanted Viktor Bout, a notorious arms dealer in American custody since 2010. https://t.co/VhpG066XrA — PolitiTweet.org

Turnout in the runoff was ~ 89% of what it was in November. Walker needed relatively higher turnout in GOP-friendly counties to win, which didn't happen. But Atlanta-area Democratic strongholds did see relatively high runoff turnout, which helped Warnock. https://t.co/kv7qJbFQ20 — PolitiTweet.org

POLITICO @politico

After trailing Warnock in the November election, Walker either needed to shift turnout in his favor or improve his margins in the runoffs. He couldn’t do it. Walker’s share of the votes improved in just 26 of Georgia's 159 counties, per our analysis. https://t.co/kv7qJbnGNS — PolitiTweet.org

POLITICO @politico

Early and absentee voting gave Warnock a lead of more than 320,000 votes, which his GOP challenger Herschel Walker was unable to overcome on Election Day. Walker won the Election Day vote by around 225,000 votes, not enough to put him over the top. https://t.co/kv7qJbnGNS — PolitiTweet.org

The blueprint for how Democrats can consistently win Georgia is becoming clearer after Sen. Warnock earned reelection in the once-red state. Some numbers that explain how Warnock pulled off his runoff win👇🧵 https://t.co/kv7qJbnGNS — PolitiTweet.org

Some Pentagon officials are concerned that convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was released in a prisoner swap for Brittney Griner, could return to illegally trafficking weapons, potentially fueling conflicts across the world. https://t.co/NHYwrpSqF3 — PolitiTweet.org

The House passed a measure providing federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriage, though GOP support dropped. The bill passed with support from 39 House Republicans. It initially had support from 47 House Republicans in July. https://t.co/IbLsuKZoLV — PolitiTweet.org

David Whelan said the White House informed his family of Griner’s release Wednesday. “I think it’s become clear that the U.S. doesn’t have any concessions that the Russian government wants for Paul, so I’m not really sure what the future holds,” he said. https://t.co/IRdOjrOa09 — PolitiTweet.org

POLITICO @politico

David Whelan, Paul’s brother, expressed support for Brittney Griner and her family upon her release, but said he does “worry about what’s in Paul’s future.” “Any time an American comes home, it’s wonderful news. I’m so glad for Brittney and Cherelle,” he told CNN. https://t.co/h9PnYXgiq2 — PolitiTweet.org

POLITICO @politico

Biden said that while the U.S. has not yet been able to secure the release of former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan from Russia, "we are not giving up." “Sadly, for totally illegitimate reasons, Russia is treating Paul’s case differently than Brittany’s," he said. https://t.co/eLMGfXVFQx — PolitiTweet.org

Brittney Griner is "safe, she’s on a plane, she’s on her way home after months of being unjustly detained in Russia, held under intolerable circumstances,” Biden announced from the White House Thursday. https://t.co/PzBvonkUrC https://t.co/ALyjYH6ckX — PolitiTweet.org
