relatives against purdue pharma. as i got emails, ai would let them know, look, we're trying to do something. >> rapp parents fanned out at public protests, in front of congress, and on television news, letting the country know of the dangers of oxycontin and other opioids. >> it has now been over ten years since oxycontin first came on the market. the deaths and addiction continue unabated. >> my 19-year-old son, bobby, died from an overdose of oxycontin. >> my wife mary jo died from oxycontin. >> my 18-year-old son matthew died of an overdose of oxycontin. >> bisch sent articles to every reporter and prosecutor he could find. one of the offices he contacted was the u.s. attorney in the western district of virginia. that u.s. attorney, john bro brownlee soon launched the first criminal probe of purdue for fraud and mislabeling of the drug. >> he sees these overdose figures and deaths, and he says to himself, what's going on here? when he looks at it, he sees one drug, oxycontin. so he starts to digs into what's goin

purdue instituted a strict compliance program designed to ensure purdue and marketing receive regular detailed documented reports for management effectively implementing the program. purdue also developed the first opioid at oxycontin could not be easily sorted or dissolved into water or injected i believe it is necessary to keep in mind on the one hand many americans suffer from pain and need pain relief. on the other hand the medication of opioids have potential for abuse and addiction. the fda has always had to balance these medical problems. prescription opioids are used successfully to treat millions of americans every year let me conclude by saying this. we have heard is almost wrong and highly distorted we fully acknowledge there is the opioid crisis ruining too many lives and abuse played a role in that we are truly sorry to everyone who has lost a family member or suffered from this addiction thank you for giving me the opportunity to make this statement i'm available to answer your questions. >>. >> you are now recognize. >> thank you chairwoman. chairwoman and ranking membe

so has senator purdue as he mentioned. you have the president this last week talk about the election, the one tomorrow as illegal and invalid. so yeah, maybe he acted like he was under fire, had to protect himself but he kind of did have to protect himself because he's been under attack from the president and republican officialings in georgia for more than a month now. >> yeah. i mean, i would just point out that he said yes, we felt we had to let this out there after the president started tweeting that there were inaccuracies as he confirmed that he was knowledgeable act the release of the audio and didn't stop it to be sure. you know, with regard to the big political picture, chris, one of the questions that is clearly there is whether or not president trump is more concerned with his own election and who is loyal to him and not loyal to him and whether or not he is more -- or whether his number 1 motivation for coming here tonight and doing this rally is to make sure that these two senators to see if he can pull them a

and david purdue and kelly loeffler are behind. we might end up with a short night. >> it sounds like you are telling me right now that the red counties are kind of going to be what they are going to be, because there is a lot of in-person voting, and blue counties are still going to keep going. >> yes, and the number of voters in smaller counties, there are 70 plus counties in georgia with fewer than 15,000 voters total. that is a precinct in fulton county, with 250 precincts. >> on the left-hand side, i have loefflerock- race and the other race. in fulton county. we expected that. 80% ossoff. going to do gwen at county. 71% for warnock. ossoff. are we seeing right now people voting down ballots for their party? >> yes, and those two counties are 15% higher with the democrats than they were in november, fulton because of the counties was only 62% for the democratic ticket. mid-50's, if you push backward, they are running the numbers up where the voters are. >> will be able to go back throughout the night and compare 201610. i want

his race against david purdue remains too close to call. campaign manager released a statement overnight saying when all the votes are counted we fully expect john ossoff will have won this election to represent georgia in the united states senate. the perdue campaign is vowing a legal fight should the race be called for ossoff with a statement saying we will mobilize every available resource and exhaust every legal resource to ensure all legally cast ballots are properly counted. we believe in the end senator perdue will be victorious. brad roethlisberger said we could no more answers later today. >> hopefully by noon we will have a better idea where we are. it is very close. i don't want people looking for that mail coming in friday, 17,000 military ballots will be important. >> reporter: election officials in fulton county tell us there are 4000 outstanding absentee ballots that still need to be counted. election officials will return here at 8:30 this morning to continue counting and outstanding votes in 15 other counties around the sta

here is ossof and purdue. let's just see on the map, live data, you are seeing it for the first time we are seeing it here. share this together, northeast of atlanta right now. running well about 30% of the votes taking in now, a lot of folks live there, 4 out of 159 in gwinnett, talk about how it's turning more and more blue and that happened in 2022 months ago. come out to the northern part of the state, whitfield county, where the president held his rally last night. just about a point and a half in so this is really early. raw votes for the northern part of the state so we'll see how that moves in the night. watching this, chattooga county. why do you watch this? this is one of the biggest pickups and biggest gains for david purdue if you look at the vote turnout for him in november. we'll see how this move throughout the night. very strong county for purdue. coming down to savannah, this is chatham county. we don't expect this dot turned out this way. 700 votes tallied up, so we'll see how that moves to t

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, shannon, as you touched on. they don't have amnesia. hurricane michael devastating those forms in south governor. you mentioned the black vote. 39% plus african americans here in georgia. they're sitting here like are we better off than we were in the previous administration? we have the highest black voter turnout under the trump policies which david purdue and senator loeffler co-signed on. they were part of that opportunity zone, prison reform. these are

if ossoff beats purdue, that goes to 51-49. the warnock beats loeffler, it goes to 50/50 and if republicans take point, we go back to 52-48 where we started in the beginning. josh? >> if you're a republican, you feel like this has gone well. i've been doing senate races almost 20 years. there's absolutely never been a parallel experience in the republican side in terms of the amount of effort, ground game, resources and everything that has gone into two raises. the senatorial committee and others deserve credit. that said, it's a tight state. this will be a tight race tonight. all things being equal, i think both republicans will can come out on top. we may not know it until late this evening. >> bill: chris, what do you think? who wins? >> look, i think it's going to be a toss-up. it's a tight race. the history is on the side of the republicans. the early turnout vote has been very good for the democrats. it would be amazing if that jim crow era law that gave the -- required the 50% margin puts two democrats in to the senate i

purdue codes squeak out a win. it is possible that kelly loeffler can squeak out a very narrow win and the republicans too, but more probable right now that the democrats are poised to win two senate seats. i don't think you will be able to call this. already we heard chatham county, which is savannah has stopped counting for the night. so i think we will wait until tomorrow until you get down to what could be 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 vote difference in each one of these races. >> shannon: i mean, it has been a nail-biter for weeks watching the polling. it has been razor-thin margins the entire time. so for tonight, that is holding true. we have tracked fox voter viewer and what motivated them to vote. the importance who controls the senate in these two races. what is the factor, 98% said that is what the factory is for them here at 2% said it wasn't. now we know this is what it comes down to. what happens with these two races with potential web vice president-elect kamala harris working as a tiebreaker there in the

all eyes are on ossoff versus purdue. florida republican senator marco rubio putting it in perspective in an opinion article on foxnews.com on monday writing, quote, if democrats are successful in the georgia runoff elections on tuesday house speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer will have the power to enact the radical left socialist agenda that has become mainstream in the democratic party. green new deal, socialized medicine, unaccountable bureaucrats in washington, european-style taxes on american industry, radical regulations that will harm small businesses and capitulation to the chinese communist party will all be on the agenda. let's discuss some of that with our next guest, former 2000 a clinton campaign advisor and fox news contributor, lloyd matheson as a republican strategist and former chief of staff utah senator mike lee. thanks for being with us in the we hours of this wednesday morning what do you think of senator rubio's comments? >> i have to start by saying congratulations to sen

out for the last run-off in 2008, the choice is between republican incumbant kelly loeffler and david purdue. >> the war for the majority of the senate comes down to georgia this year. and we need you all of us, to stand? that bridge. >> it looks like y'all ready for an election. [ cheers and applause ] >> looks like you are all ready to make history. >> five calls or texts today about voting will keep the liberals away. >> it is time to vote like we have never voted before, georgia. >> each of them has been trying desperately to get their voters to show up at the polls for a second time. >> never before has a run-off election in this state, meant so. >> it will determine who is in charge of the u.s. senate. who sets the agenda. who sets the policy. >> with control of the senate on the line, people far away from georgia are all wound up in the state's business. from the white houses -- >> we are going to fight like hell, i will tell you right now. >> to hollywood. >> the work is not done, everybody. >> it matters who wins. >> get out and vote. >> but it's the outrage over a stunning phone ca

we have david purdue on the show tonight. the campaign said he had to get to a biden event very quickly, which is at 4:30. this event was at 1:30. i'm not sure the timing there. >> you're thinking a good uber driver could have gotten him there. how was his precipitation, his level of confidence? he's 33 years old trying to win a senate seat. >> he's smooth. he has his talking points down. he did add today a section about president trump's phone call to the secretary of state. he said that he was trying to essentially shake down government officials and that georgia voters, this is ossoff speaking, should stand up and send a message to president trump. so i do think that that call, we don't know how big of an effect it will have. what happens with president trump when he gets to dalton, georgia and his pitch to get out the vote for loeffler and purdue i think is going to be a big moment in the final hours of this campaign. >> bill: we'll watch that tonight for every word he says. what did you pick up from the governor there ab

, thank god he was there, sonny purdue was there, literally rescued these farms, literally rescued them. they will not forget that. the will push the ballot for senator perdue and senator leffler and bring them back as our senators. >> what is your take with the early vote? you like to crunch the numbers versus the turnout you and the gop need tomorrow. >> the early vote in person is 78% of what it was in the november election, in early in-person voting. under 1 million people voted by mail in ballot, that is 71% of voted by mail in ballot in november. altogether the early vote is 75% what it was, 3 million cast in the runoff which republican campaigns are aiming, they believe that turnout will be between one.one and 1.3 million on election day. in november david purdue got 62% of the 2-party vote on election day and republicans are confident they will get that or a point or two better tomorrow and if they do they will win as long as the turnout, the bigger the turnout tomorrow the better of the republicans are. shannon: the world will be watching. thank you for your time tonight. we wi

instead they took steps to suppress negative information within a month received a 3 page letter from purdue pharma. basically saying why are you bothering the doctors this is not a prescribing problem this is a patient misuse problem this is a drug abuse problem patients need to be able to get what they need and then we got a year later got sued in federal court we were all all the medical directors were served in our homes current efforts to stop this overprescribing have been met with much pushback from the pharmaceutical industry they rationalized that the billions of dollars they were making were helping more people than they were hoarding they insisted and still insists today that only those who are diverting and misusing the drugs to get high are responsible for the epidemic and not those who are prescribe the drug produced distributed a follow up video to i got my life back the double down on their claims that oxycontin was a safe non-addictive long term chronic pain relief returning to these patients off to 2 years shows that when pain treatment is successful it stays successful ove

raphael warnock defeats republican kelly loeffler, and jon ossoff currently leads republican david purdue. the gop could lose control of the senate. beijing tightens its grip. hong kong police arrest around 50 people, including a prominent american lawyer. it's the biggest crackdown yet under china's controversial national security law. and boris johnson says one person in every 50 in england has covid-19. it comes as chancellor angela merkel tightens germany's lockdown to contain the outbreak. good morning and welcome to "bloomberg surveillance." i'm francine lacqua in london. tom keene is in new york. tom, i know you have the ins and outs of politics of the georgia senate race. i would point to what is happening with treasury. we have some interesting calls not only from columbia threadneedle about the 30 year longer-term but also what could happen to the 10 year treasury in the short term if we do see a blue wave. of: it is a real dovetail the political world into the bloomberg world, no question about that. just the 10-year yield is launched from 1% out to 1.02% in two lousy cups of n

and the fact that it took money from purdue and other opioid makers and promoted aggressive use state medical boards that failed to regulate the way in which doctors prescribing and even encouraged aggressive prescribing there's a lot of blame to go around the question is is who is guilty or who should feel guilty i don't know that anybody feels too guilty i kind of wish a few more people did feel a little more guilty despite public outcry pharmaceutical companies find new and creative ways to market their heroin builds. what's in the parts lauren and we do have pounder we can employ from there and it would still be very opioid centric including painkillers marketed to children the food and drug administration announced about a month ago that they were determining that oxycontin is safe and effective for children 11 and up which is very disturbing most of the companies that now operate in these cases in this space have gone dark. it's not the big names that you and i would recognize like pfizer or johnson and johnson pfizer does have a little bit but not a lot. is actually these small

the latest from kelly loeffler and david purdue is a joint statement that says this, we are encouraged by reports of high voter turn out, but nick made no make no mistake, it could come down to the difference of just a few votes in a few precinct across the state. >> over 5 million people voted in november. if we get near that boat turned out today, we'll be in great shape. republicans notoriously wait till the last minute to wait till election day and today is no different and i'm very confident that they know what at stake and we will get this vote out. >> republicans believe that this race is going to be very tight but there is a huge gulf between what happens if they win and what happens if they lose based on the closing arguments. >> the future of the country is at the stake here in georgia today. the path of the american dream that i've been fighting for or socialism give. my opponent will bring socialism in the form of big government, taxes on every single georgian family, government health care, defunded police, green new deal. >> what i'm hearing from republican sources, they

purdue's home, but kelly loeffler's out there campaign right now. lindsey graham standing in for purdue at a concert this afternoon just down the road. a few hundred people are here in gainesville. back to you. >> sean: peter, thank you for the boards and asking questions on the campaign trail, we appreciate that. we heard both biden and trump will be in georgia on monday night. we asked do you which rally will have the most fun, but i know the answer to that is going to be president trump's rally. but those two rallies, which campaign will do the best job to get voters out on tuesday and carry the day? >> i will be there covering both of rallies. being out there on the campaign trail, a person that has the biggest draw is always to president trump. love him or hate him, he has the ability to get people to show up. his rallies going to to be extra important because they are people that are in the state currently telling people trying not to go about because of the presidents legal challenges that he's pursuing. he mentors the most, joe biden will ha

the momentum is real, republicans will come out and support kelly (david purdue. it will be an exciting time. they know what is at stake, the future of the american dream is at stake and they know it. >> did joe biden do enough to allay fears of that moderate georgia voters worried about socialism and overturning the current system that we have or did he double down on that and say if that is what you want, vote for warknock and ossoff. >> they are schizophrenic, saying they want to fight against socialism and sent people to thousand dollars checks, rafael warknock wants to open prisons and releasing people from prison, on one hand they believe in the election was rigged but that they were fairly elected and put into the runoff in november. it is a ridiculous set of circumstances there putting us into. the idea of kelly leffler being a simple businesswoman before getting to the senate, preceding a company with $182 million in hong kong based chinese billion or so while talking about socialism can't explain where those hundreds of millions of dollars went and how t

purdue, kelly letters out there campaigning, lindsey graham standing in for purdue at a concert this afternoon down the road, a few hundred people in gainesville. back to you. >> for asking questions on the campaign trail we appreciate that. you heard biden and trump will be in georgia monday night and i was going to ask which rally would have the most fun, trump or biden but i know the answer, donald trump's rally. those two rallies monday night which campaign doing the best job at those rallies to get the voters out on tuesday. >> i will be covering both of those. just from being on the campaign trail, the person with the biggest draw is always donald trump to love him or hate him he has the ability to get people to show up in his rallies will be extra important because people in the state currently telling people to don't go vote because of the president's legal challenges he is still pursuing. joe biden is probably going to have a small crowd, wanting to do the social distancing aspect of this. i don't think that is going to matter that much. the what is working for republicans i

as part of a grant to that was provided to them by the pharmaceutical company purdue pharma the joint commission on accreditation of health care organizations recently defined and adopted stringent pain standards on the basic thrust of our new standards is the organizations that practitioners have an obligation to ask the patient even if the patient doesn't look like he or she is in pain ask them to be surprised but here when you go to a doctor's office now they ask you or are you having pain. no you may go for a raise that has nothing to do with pain which just added lighter fluid to the fire because because it became equivalent to say if you have pain you need opioids. at least in the united states you know 2 plus. you know probably not for making people smile and on oxy contemn produce marketing of oxycontin depending on how you look at it very successful very tragic all the marketing legislative maneuvering cash and free giveaways handed to doctors and politicians might have been justified if opioids were a safe effective non-addictive treatment for chronic pain but they weren't m

just this afternoon with purdue and senator loeffler. what more do we know about this new development? >> reporter: well, it was supposed to be a joint event and it was supposed to be here. they're breaking down the stage but there was no david purdue. we learned about what was happening with the senator right as he was about to take stage. right as he was supposed to take stage and he just didn't show up. the campaign released that statement saying he came into contact with someone who was covid-positive and so he was going to follow doctor's order, follow cdc guidelines, he and his wife were going to quarantine. they did get tested and currently negative but depending on on the timing of when they had contact with the person, it's likely they're going to have to be tested again. what happened here, biana, this rally was a little surreal. he simply didn't show up. everything rolled forward as if he was never supposed to be here in the first place. senator loeffler spoke to the crowd and as people were leaving, they were never informed.

today the opioid epidemic commands national attention there are now dozens of court cases against purdue and other pharmaceutical companies for their collusion to promote drugs they knew were dangerous for turning a blind eye to the sale of opioids to doctors and clinics that we're told will and for the destruction of states and communities ravaged by the up at that. i'm not sure i'm enough of a medical expert to say what steps need to be taken at this point. but you know what what's very clear is that unless you have. public health experts regulators criminal investigators local officials and the medical community working together. in some kind of established program the problem will never get solved the one thing that we have to do is slowly i'm surely. the. prescriptions we need to get them doctors are now strongly encouraged to cautiously prescribe for both chronic pain and acute pain this will lessen the chance of surplus pills being diverted and the buz surgeons or dartmouth hitchcock medical center in lebanon new hampshire recently published guidelines to reduce the number of exce

jon ossoff is leading over david purdue. ossoff needs to win his race to give the democrarats control of the senate. the chamber would be 50/50 and kamala harris would cast the deciding vote as vice president. i think the only prediction we can depend on now is that it is going to be a long night into the morning. sl we hea have we heard from the candidates yet? >> we have heard from one. i want to tell you about david purdue and kelly loeffler. they have not conceded. jon ossoff hasn't spoken. raphael warnock did speak from his home. he said tonight that it proved with hope, hard work and people by his side that anything is possible. >> georgians flocked to the polls on tuesday. >> you can't complain if you don't vote. >> two elections that could shift the balance of power. >> god gave us a voice to be heard. >> cbs projects raphael warnock has beaten kelly loeffler thanks to strong support for black and young voters. >> i am going to the senate to work for all georgia. >> it is worth it for this election to last into tomor

we will have interview with senator david purdue in a moment. >> bret: john roberts at the white house, lawmakers are saying about president trump's phone call with the georgia secretary of state, peter doocy in atlanta with president-elect biden's visit to the georgia capital but we begin with correspondent steve harrigan entailed in georgia where the president will host a rally for the republican candidate in about three hours. good evening. speak a good evening, three i was away from the president's appearance you can see the last of the crowd filing through. there's people here overnight about two dozen people on the asphalt, 20 do 20-degree weather to make sure they got in. and checked out before they go in and local officials are talking about at least 5,000 people coming here. two observations if you've been to a lot of trump rallies, this one feels different. there's a real sense of anger that i have been seen at previous b6 rallies. people here feel like they have been cheated and they say they've been cheated. another thing i noticed talking to people is that there's been a l

defeat the democratic extremist and deliver a thundering victory to david purdue and kelly leffler. kelly fight for me, david 53. >> you can break the gridlock that has gripped washington and this nation. there are folks in the senate who will make progress. >> people of georgia will be at the mercy of the left-wing socialist communist. >> make sure your voice is heard. >> and we will make america great again. go get them, david, go get them, kelly, go get them. ♪ waiting for tonight ♪ dream of this love for so long ♪ todd: hey, we have a big day ahead of us. polls opening in 2 hours for one of the most high-stakes elections a lifetime. republicans in the runoff, aiming to take total control of washington. a race so important which is why we play j lo. jillian: all hands on deck in the peach state as donald trump and president-elect joe biden make last-ditch appeal to voters, live team coverage, "fox and friends" weekend cohost pete hegseth and will kane made their way to atlanta following several threats to georgia polling places but griff jenkins is live in dalton, georgia w

david purdue is a great gentleman. david was a critical vote and a right to pass the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in american history. we did that together, we got it done watching -- launching an incredible economic room. greatest tax cuts in the history of our country and the greatest restrictions. we were so restricted we cannot breathe in this country. i think it might've been more important than the tax cuts. you would know that being one of the great businessman of our world. when georgia needed a strong voice in washington after hurricane michael, remember hurricane michael? and i was down here with david david purdue led the charge to get the workers and farmers in the state the relief you deserve. he said sir, can we get $1 billion and i said we will get it and we got a very fast. there was no mechanism. you got hit with a hurricane like you have never seen before, it came in from a location that is very unique, it was a hurlbert thing. i was here for a long time with david and his kin, the great so

david purdue off the trail right now as he's quarantining as someone near him was exposed to covid. this is a neck and neck race right now. more face time with voters is probably what he needs. >> certainly every vote counts in the last couple days. i believe with three million voters already voting, most people have already made up their minds. the last people that haven't, grabbing face time with each one of them is important.

's race against david purdue remains too close to call. john ossoff's campaign manager releasing the statement overnight saying when all the votes are counted we fully expect john ossoff will have won this election to represent georgia and the united states senate. the purdue campaign vowing a legal fight should the race be called for ossoff, a statement from his campaign saying we will mobilize every available resource and exhaust every legal resource to ensure all legally cast ballots are properly counted. we believe in the end senator purdue will be victorious, donald trump weighing in this morning with more claims of voter fraud tweeting looks like they are setting up a big voter dump against the republican candidates, waiting to see how many votes they need. there are more votes to be counted. the director of elections tells us there are 4000 outstanding absentee ballot votes and an unknown amount of votes outstanding in 15 other counties around the state in fulton county where election workers will return at 8:30 to continue the coun

re-election of republican senators purdue and loeffler it's absolutely critical. these really could be the most important senate elections incr recent memory. at least my lifetime. a 50/50 tie in the senate will ensure an all-out assault on our freedoms, ourse economy and our constitution including our second amendment and our religious liberty and the first amendment. warnock and ossoff will be the senate version when you thinkof about it of the squad. total nightmares. while republicans, they've been engaging at times in kind of a pointless circular firing squad. democrats were busy registering new voters and ramping up interest in the runoff. in normal times, republicans fare better. these are not normal times, this is why megamaga turnout is imperative.. will the rnc deliver? we'll find out. i'll tell you this, this is no time to stay home and complain and moan about how unfair everything is or how lame republican state officials are.r set it aside. keep your eye on resisting the rise of the rabid socialist who will run you over while enrich wall street and ch

to any idea if kerry lost david purdue i'm just going to go quietly all or are they going to potentially drag out this result. kelly lefler has said that there is still a path to victory it is unclear exactly what she means by that and what path she's talking about but as i mentioned it's clear that the perdue campaign is going to be looking at as i said any resource they can get to ensure that this vote count is accurate right now with the margin between asaf and purdue we are getting into recount territory the margin between them is 16000 votes it's less than half a percentage point and that means in the state of georgia that the candidate does have the right to request a recount it's worth noting though that already john has done better than biden did in the state in november biden won georgia by less than 12000 votes and as i said awesome his leading by about 16000 votes that's actually thanks very much indeed natascha going to him talking to us from the lines in georgia. a lot as natasha just said the u.s. congress is essential to meet shortly to certify the electoral votes that is

for theights harder people of georgia than david purdue. david's opponent, jon ossoff, is an unhinged radical leftists. he said that he is very proud to be endorsed by socialist crazy bernie sanders. on china, he promoted chinese propaganda and then he failed to disclose his business ties to the chinese communist party. other than that, he's a wonderful guy. jon ossoff supports the largest tax hikes in american history. in, jon ossoff and raphael warnock, wahhabist -- you are have the largest tax increase you ever had. it will be the largest increase in the history of our country for what, the green new deal. let's build a building with no windows, among many other things. he supports the insane green new deal, which would crush middle-class parents trying to raise a family. he will support the socialist takeover of american health care, which will lead to rationing, poverty and death. jon ossoff backs the radical left wing crusade. he probably joined the anti-police mom. he does not like our police, we love our police. [cheers and applause

we are waiting to see what ssoff andith alo purdue. the democrats have taken one of two senate seats which will be determined who controls the senate and in effect the entire government. as we said, jon ossoff's campaign is assuring media that they will win because the remaining votes to be counted come from democrats. purdue is assuring media they will put up a legal fight to drag this out. let's get to derek wallbank with the latest. when one side says they will sue, can you take it for granted that they think they will lose the count? the math is what it is. every network has called one of these races for raphael warnock over kelly loeffler. the other one is not just jon ossoff-david purdue, but control of the senate. you would expect this to be a fight. it is also closer. jon ossoff is ahead. if you look at the areas in georgia where you see votes legally cast waiting to be counted, you are seeing those in democratic areas. you would probably rather be jon ossoff than david purdue, with a lead and more of your home turf left to cou
