Obama urges Georgia Democrats to push turnout for WarnockATLANTA (AP) — Former President Barack Obama and Sen. Raphael Warnock on Thursday urged Democratic voters to keep pushing an apparent head start in early voting in the Georgia Senate runoff against Republican Herschel Walker, ahead of Friday's last day of early in-person voting and Tuesday's election day. “I believe in my soul that Georgia knows that Georgia is better than Herschel Walker,” Warnock said. He argued that their advantage comes only because it was heavily Democratic metro-area counties that held weekend early voting, while more Republican areas waited until the statewide mandatory early voting window that began Monday. Republicans had sued, unsuccessfully, in state court trying to block Saturday early voting for the runoff. The senator’s campaign, Democratic Party committees and aligned political action committees have tailored their voter turnout efforts toward early voting.
