bruce, you were there in georgia. i want to talk about this interesting article making the rounds today talking about what national reporters and people are covering from outside the state, the nuances that they're missing, this is a piece, a note to national reporters covering georgia's run-off. erica ericson says this. a few years ago hurricane michael -- this is something the president brought up -- devastated south georgia and former governor purdue swung into action with david purdue. the two men worked overtime securing disaster relief to the farm community. the result is black formers in south georgia have been voting purdue disproportionate to the black vote in the rest of the state. the president hammered on that. what don't we understand about georgia voters and what is persuading them? >> a lot of people forget that we had a successful governor, governor purdue, agricultural director. they have worked together putting this together and helping georgia. they didn't forget that especially the black farmers, s

people of georgia. the fate of our country is at stake. it's in your hands. you must deliver a republican victory so big that the democrats can steal it or cheat it away. [laughing]. they will be trying. i will tell you that. we have all seen what our opponents are capable of doing. i ran two elections. i won both of them. second one much more successful than the first. but we can't let this happen any longer. on election night, we were leading by so much. we won't have that tomorrow or tomorrow night. you are leading and all of a sudden boom it's gone by magic. we won florida and ohio in record numbers. we won iowa by 8.2%. nobody has ever won those 3 states and lost. never happened before. it's almost impossible unless people are very lucky or they cheat. we were up 293,000 votes in michigan and 112,000 votes in washington. in wisconsin we were way up. 356,000 votes in georgia! and 700,000 votes in pennsylvania. it was over. i should have run up to the podium and said thank you very much for this wond

county in georgia. what do we have to watch for in this county specifically? >> this county voted overwhelmingly for biden. 83% and right now early voting is tracking identically to the rest of the state so if you look at a democratic stronghold all appears to be similar to statewide, doesn't seem to be any yellow or red flags for either party. this changes as we go through the list. >> in hall county, heavily republican, 71% went to donald trump. do you think this county will see those numbers again? >> in terms of proportion of votes for trump quite possibly but in terms of overall votes that is where we will get into a real challenge. we are at 69% early voting compared to november. given how republican it is it is hard to imagine anything except a lower republican turnout overall. this is a yellow flag for republicans in georgia. >> keep an eye there. when it counties to be in favor of gop this has flip-flopped a little bit. you think republicans can pull more support here? >> a tough one. everythin

we're both from georgia. i grew up in georgia. i watched you over the years. you are an intelligent person. we may be on different sides of issues, on the right or wrong side of history, but i know you're an intelligent person. this effort is nonsense. why would mike pence do something like that when there's no clear path dwroefr turning th to overturning this election? >> well, tiffany, i think that in terms of the republican party particularly when 70% of the people believe that there was fraud, shenanigans, irregularities, or all of the above, what we're seeing is a response to those concerns. what senator hawley is saying is i want to do the same thing senator boxer did in 2005 and what jones did when they objected to bush counts. so i think what's going to happen, we're going to have a two-hour debate in the senate chamber at least and i don't think it's going to be accepted. i don't thing anything is going to moord forward, but i still think it's good for the process to hear these concerns, let the people back home know that washington is listening. you

let's get to cnn's kyung lah in georgia and start in georgia. president trump using today's critical senate elections in georgia as a threat on this call, what has the reaction been like there on the ground? >> reporter: actually trying to pay attention to reverend warnock as he's speaking and we just heard from the other democrat. so reverend warnock is one of the democratic challengers for the two runoff seats. jon ossoff is the other candidate for the senate seat. two democrats who want to flip these two seats. ultimately, which would tip the balance of control in the senate to democrats, and we just heard ossoff say this about what he thinks about the call, that call you just played, ana. he said "that is a direct attack on our democracy and if perdue and loeffler, who are the two incumbent republican senators, had one piece of steel in their spine, one shred of integrity, they would be out here defending georgia voters from that kind of assault. so very strong words from one of the democrats. we are anticipating that reverend warnock may al

the campaign here in georgia. remember the senate runoff campaigns, the election is just two days away. reverend raphael warnock put to a statement saying kelly loeffler made clear she does not respect georgia voters. it is, in fact, that georgia's elected joe biden and kamala harris to be our next president and vice president. a fact kelly loeffler still refuses to admit. what he is trying to do there is trying to connect the senator to donald trump as tightly as possible, and it's something that we've seen democrats try to do. to try to show that whatever donald trump believes, these republican senators believe. but, remember, fredricka, this has been very much a campaign both on the democratic side and the republican side, to get out the faithful. to get out the base. this is going to affect anything. i have spoke thav have spoken t voters, and have yet to interview anyone who doesn't think that the president isn't correct n correct. that he's the person who won the state of georgia. that's incorrect. that's a

they couldn't vote in georgia because they're not in georgia. that seemed simple and obvious but that standard does not meet the burden of proof in stacey abrams' sister 'escort. therefore thousands of voters can vote tonight in georgia even if they're not living in georgia, aren't georgia residents. all they need to do is identify as georgia voters. you can change her gender, you can also change your state of residency just by identifying. that's how identity politics works. it goes without saying that the actual identities, the real identities of tonight's democratic candidates are off-limits. true things can't be spoken. that's the rule. you can't talk about them. you can call raphael warnock, for example, a pastor, a christian, a pro-choice christian, but don't you dare mention the words he actually utters in church, sermons. if you do that, cnn would like you to know you're probably a political operative working for the hard right. in fact, you're taking his words out of context. >> reverend warnock's pro-choice stance and his words from th

and georgia, savannah georgia , garden city georgia can make the difference. and i'd be deeply honored if the people in the city where i was born and nurtured and raised would be the defining city in this election. are you ready to push us over the top? now, i'm asking you to do this but i'm very clear. i'm not asking you to do this for me because this election is not about me . it's not about jon ossoff, it's about access to affordable healthcare and a livable wage. ndit's about the dignity of work. it is about voting rights, it's about civilrights . it is about saving the planet, about clean air and clean water. it's about the work wemust do in this moment . my name is on the ballot and on the books but this is about you. it's time you had a senator whosethinking about the people of georgia . and i promise you today, you send me to the senate i'll be thinking about you every day. i'll wake up with georgia on my mind . because i'm home. you know, when you're growing up you take the place where you grow up. you take things for granted. i thought the rest of th

if they win, that argument kind of goes away in georgia. there are actually republicans on the ground in georgia, who are wondering whether trump even wants them to win, even though the stakes are so enormous for the party, mitch mcconnell's power is at stake, i would be very curious to hear what the mitch mcconnell's reaction was. >> the list is long of the reactions we are waiting with bated breath in which to hear, mcconnell being one of them. you know, you touched on the legalities here, or what kind of, you know, prosecutorial, you know, avenues might be here still unclear, but it is interesting that the president said, you know, it is criminal if you don't do -- meaning threatening, you know, ryan germany, the attorney and brad raffensberger, the secretary of state, it's criminal if they don't do more, when it appears to be criminal that the president of the united states is trying to leverage these -- this elected official, this secretary of state and twist the arm, trying to tell them they should not be standing behind, you know, th

no ballots were burned in georgia, no voting machines were removed in georgia, after four dozen plus lawsuits filed over the election outcome, all of these have been shot down, many of them by trump appointed judges or withdrawn all together. it is a hard thing to swallow but it is what it is. stay with us. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa to listen, is to hear more than what's being said... and offer the answers that make someone feel truly heard. i understand, let's get started call a dell technologies advisor today. i understand, let's get started robiwithout the commission fees and account minimums. so, you can start investing today, wherever you are - even on the bus. download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base. claim your seventy-five-dollar credit when you post your first job at indeed.com/groomer ♪. reporter: i'm krist

going down to the wire in georgia. president trump and joe biden hold rallies ahead of a run—off vote to control the senate. well, earlier i spoke to andra gillespie who's political science professor at emory university in atlanta. i began by asking who she thought may win georgia's senate race. we don't know, the polls are statistically within the margin of error, it's too close to call, the outcome is likely going to be close one way or the other. georgia is complicated, particularly these two senate seats. it's a really complicated picture. georgia is in the midst of a partisan transition, so it went from being reliably democrat to reliably republican, now demographic changes are ushering in an era of new competitiveness, so it does not guarantee republicans or democrats clear, consistent victories, but it does portend very close election results and nailbiters, alternating democratic and republican victories, so we really do have to see what tomorrow's election results bring because it could go either way. it so

to rally for two great people in georgia. senator david david perdue and loeffler get ready to volt on tuesday and republicans need to win at least one of those races they do, they will maintain control of the u.s. senate. jon. jon: rich ed son at the white house rich, thank you. well the georgia candidates are making a final push to win over as many voters as possible with just three days before those runoffs decide control of the senate. notably absent from campaign trail is senator david perdue, he's in quarantine after comes in close contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. peter doocy is in georgia with more for us. peter. reporter: jon, good evening senator perdue is trying to be seen and heard although he's in isolation. >> what this will do is just change the way that we're ending up this campaign these last three days are critical so i'm doing media making phone calls participating virtually. reporter: kelly loeffler is knocking on doors herself today with texas senator ted cruz by her side trying to

chuck schumer said first take georgia, then we change america. aoc said we need these two seats in georgia so we don't have to negotiate but georgians get the final say about which direction we want to go as a country. they are energized by that and turning out to vote. we had record turnout in the early vote. and i think we are going to have record turnout on election day. kelly loeffler and david perdue will be successful. eric: they say upwards of 3 million georgians have voted so far. a lot of heavy floating in the democratic areas. do you think, are you concerned about that? they also say were hogan's generally show up on election day which is to say. >> we are not concerned at all. we are hitting the numbers we need to hit thus far. we are encouraged by the turnout we are seeing we are even more encouraged by the organization we have working over the next few days to turn out the vote that will be topped off by the president coming to georgia monday night 9:00 p.m. for a great rally. we've got the right machine and team in place. we are goi

the president pressured the georgia secretary of states to help him steal a

he won georgia. there has been quite a bit of litigation, no election fraud happened that was identified. there is consensus, republicans are split. privately, you have people like mitch mcconnell warning republicans to not sign onto the electoral challenge. that is not helpful for the party, especially before an election. you have other republicans who are -- a call like this, hearing from the president's mouth these conspiracy theories and debunked claims bolsters what they are doing. i imagine we will see a lot of reporters asking senators and lawmakers on the hill today for their response to this. are calling for a criminal investigation. a member of george's board of elections has called to open a criminal probe because the president is attempting to tamper with election results, which legal experts say veers into questionable legal territory. host: in the mitch mcconnell leadership era, explain how unusual this republican senate split is. a hallmark of the trump presidency has been that republi

those runoff elections get underway today in georgia for georgia residents. the line is (202) 748-8003. from atlanta, here is terry. caller: good morning. how are you? host: fine, thank you. caller: i voted absentee both times, in the general election and for the special runoff. and i have a few health challenges. i tried not to expose myself to any potential illnesses. themy problem is with negative ads that i have seen. i am really quite fed up with that. -- it is like you cannot turn the tv on without seeing something negative and hearing negative things from people. i know the majority of the things being said are not true. the candidates them and makes them look like edited -- 80 its. diots. i watch you every day. sometimes i tape the show and watch it if i'm not up that early. a lot of people calling in on both sides, it seems like you 45 or against 45 and you are for 46 or 846. the negative comments from people calling in a lot of times are joe biden has not done anything, donald trump, best president we have ever had, but i am not sure these people ar

georgia statewide. you have to say loeffler and perdue are favored. history tells you. 2020 tells you georgia is changing and democrats can win. joe biden winning by 11,779 votes. roundal up in atlanta in suburbs, up in augusta, chatham county. need to be near perfect, democrats, but can defy georgia's history. the recent history republicans win state-piwide. register nor african-americans, more younger voters, this state a purple state, used to be red state purple leaning red. it's possible. joe biden proved. not since bill dpclintonen in 1992. georgia is in play. democrats need to be near perfect. the challenge today but they can win. >> numbers we have. ryan nobles talking to gop sources in georgia said they think they need 800 to 1,000 to 1 million people to turn out, to actually pull out a win. early voting numbers, obviously we know in the presidential election skewed incredibly democratic. already had 3.1 million people vote. what do we know about that? >> that is exactly why ryan nobles is corre

how that situation could impact tomorrow's vote in georgia. >>tonight president relentless efforts to overturn the results of the election he lost continue. >>they do that includes saturday's hour long phone conversation he had with georgia's chief election official. our catherine heenan of inside bay area politics is here now with the latest on this catherine. >>well of the president grant and vicki has 16 days left in office. clearly he is not going quietly today some are comparing that weekend phone call with georgia's secretary of state to watergate the president demanding the official find him enough votes to overturn the election. the phone call was made public. >>i use one of high. 11,000 780. which is one more that we have. because we want to say you should want to have an accurate election. and your republican. we believe that we do have an extra election. >>reaction included california democratic congresswoman barbara lee that to me is appalling that they would try to overturn. >>a duly elected president and vice president this is am
