More than 300,000 Georgians cast their ballots in a single day in Georgia’s highly contentious Senate runoff race, smashing the previous one-day record of 233,000 votes set just four years ago.
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, left, and Republican Herschel Walker.
But the stakes of this year’s race are dramatically different than two years prior, as Democrats already have a majority in the Senate only due to the tiebreaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris. If Walker loses, they’ll have 51 seats in the chamber, giving Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer more room to maneuver around moderates like Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., who have been known to break ranks with the rest of the caucus.
Later that evening in suburban Cobb County, with hundreds of middle-aged concertgoers in the crowd, Warnock stood withMusician Dave Matthews and Warnock onstage at a special acoustic performance and rally on Monday at the Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta. “I’m ready for this. I was built for this,” Walker proclaimed, saying it was “God’s will” that he runs for Senate. “You vote for me and we all get to the promised land.”
For those unable to see either candidate in person on Monday, it’s likely they still saw or heard one of them on various radio or TV ads or on sign placards, billboards and text messages in all corners of the state as both parties continue to shell out tens of millions in this runoff race to get in front of as many potential voters as possible.
