Its still a massive win considering the where it is

[Senator Clay Davis]

Looking like it will be a runoff in Georgia. Also looks like Kari Lake will lose, and based off her speech a little while ago she knows she's gonna lose and is setting the conspiracy table.

who the #### voted for Chase Oliver

these 3rd parties really help the republicans

Warnock takes the lead, but still incredibly unlikely to avoid the runoff.

Oz has closed the gap on Fetterman. Good news is that most of the remaining vote is from urban areas, so Fetterman still has the inside track.

It depends. In this case it's a Libertarian candidate, more right wing than even the republicans.

Surely the Dems look for a new leader to run in 2024.

This aged like a sack of 20 day old milk.

Anyways, the Dems did flip a seat they weren't expected to.

But the main probability based forecasters were 25% chance of that happening so it’s not like he is right and others are wrong.. If you aren’t attaching a certainty you are wrong.

odds are it's actually the opposite. Libertarians certainly identify alot more with the right wing right now, and most of those people are people who cant accept the republicans, but can't culturally bring themselves to vote d, but are still people who cast a vote in order to lose.

Yeah Joe Rogan's "red wave like we have never seen before like the movie Carrie" isn't happening

The world will be a better place when people stop listening to Joe Rogan.

I don't think many libertarians are or taking away human rights but I haven't researched these particular candidates to be fair

But the Dems are going to take their guns! That's their biggest fear, although it's never happened.

Georgia being this close to a runoff is amazing for a couple of reasons

1) it went to a runoff in 2020 and was one of the most exciting results to watch in the 5 or 6 days after the election
2) how Herschel "I was a police officer, look at my fake badge" Walker is competitive at all in this race

We're pretty much saying the same thing, he's mostly just a place for people to park their vote who aren't voting rep anymore, but would have an identity crisis if they voted dem.

NBC just called Fetterman over Oz

If Herschel was a democrat would you vote republican?

Thank goodness.

Oz is a mess. And not even from that state.

Some this is that redistricting made the map less unfair so the 2-3% or so republican advantage creates a much smaller wave of wins.

I think it will be interesting to see how much the 218th district leans red.

So funny now that the race is over.
