Walker vs Warnock

Record-setting early voting in Georgia’s Senate runoff election has continued with reportedly high election-day voter turnout all across the state.

The problem: Raphael Warnock is at a distinct fundraising advantage of 2-1 compared to the Walker team. Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund dwarfed the Rick Scott-led NRSC in support of Walker by $11.2 million to $1 million. If Walker wins, McConnell deserves some credit.

Total: Over $335 million has been spent on this election by both campaigns.

Ex-Rep. David Rivera R-FL was arrested Wednesday as a federal grand jury indictment was unsealed, charging him with various crimes related to a secret $50 million lobbying contract to help the socialist leader of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.

Erick Erickson @EWErickson

The “it’s McCarthy or a Democrat” is a McCarthy talking point. U can tell who is carrying his water. Republicans are not going to collectively hand the Speaker’s chair to a Democrat after capturing the House. It’s a fear tactic by leadership advanced by the sheeple of the right.
