Warnock's star rises: Warnock has been on the ballot five times in a roughly two-year span and finished first each time. Along the way he has dispensed with three Republican contenders. It’s a remarkable feat for a political newcomer in two different political environments, and even more so for the first Black person elected senator from Georgia, once a bastion of the ConfederacyOriginally Posted by Cypress

Well, I can say this now, Joe Biden is the only president since Roosevelt that did not lose a single Senator of his own party in his first Mid-Term election. That goes back 14 presidents!
And I suspect that Warnock will win by 60K plus votes. That is not exactly a tight race for Georgia either.
So if people are unhappy, it's not the Democrats that are unhappy!
Thinking about what could have happened in the Mid-Terms- I'm happier than a Doggie with 2 dicks!

I tend to agree that Trump is like the Midas of Turds; everything he touches turns to shit.

Republicans should be embarrassed running Walker!

While the numbers are true, I'm thinking this has more to do with voting against Trumpism than for Democrats or Biden himself.

Herschel Walker’s loss is just more bad news for Trump
From falling short in Georgia to the dinner with Ye and Nick Fuentes, the Trump campaign has had to beat back controversies.
The Trump train is stuck in the station, and it was weighed down Tuesday with the new baggage of corporate tax-fraud convictions and a final midterm defeat.
In the three weeks since former President Donald Trump launched his comeback bid from a ballroom of his Mar-a-Lago club, he has exhibited little of the energy that made him a force in national politics, but many of the behaviors that led voters to oust him two years ago, according to Republican strategists.
During his short campaign, Trump has dominated headlines by dining with the rapper Ye, who has gone on antisemitic tirades in recent weeks, and the white nationalist Nick Fuentes. More recently, Trump advocated for the “termination” of articles of the Constitution as a means to overturn his 2020 defeat.
Two Trump companies were found guilty of criminal tax fraud in New York's highest court Tuesday. He also watched helplessly in recent days as courts handed his tax records to Congress, dragged his White House lawyers before a grand jury and facilitated an investigation into his removal of classified documents from the White House.
And on Tuesday night, Herschel Walker’s loss in a Georgia Senate runoff added an exclamation point to the argument that Trump hurt the GOP by picking a bad crop of candidates in swing states. Trump's Monday tele-rally for Walker didn't provide the necessary boost....

Yep! That's what it looked like. I mean, the Governor of Georgia got more votes than any other candidate running in Georgia in this last November refrain.
That was a very telling story right there.

Warnock's victory in the runoff is geographically similar to November, suggesting he won with the support of a similar coalition of voters, including Black Georgians, suburbanites and independents like a key minority of voters who split their ticket by choosing Warnock along with Republicans like Gov. Brian Kemp.

What a way to live. To not say what you want to say because you are afraid of being FALSELY accused of being a racist. The very thought of living that was is absurd to me. I say what I want to say and what I believe with no thought whatsoever of what someone else may think of it or any false accusations. Thats on THEM.....not me.

Warnock won Savannah like 60 to 30 percent. Savannah is one of the few blue counties. You find them in big cities, in college towns (where you find the educated), and on the coast.

I guess the mid-terms did not quite turn out like you were predicting. That is probably because Biden is doing such a spectacular job.

Yes now if Manchin or Sinema decide to vote against a bill the senate can still pass the legislation.
