and it continues now with herschel walker. but before we go to break on this, michael, it is very important. i want to underline this fact. republicans had a choice. in every one of these states that we're talking about, they had a choice to pick an arch conservative, somebody who said they supported donald trump, to pick a pro-life candidate, to pick a pro-second amendment candidate. to pick a pro-free market candidate. pick a capitalist. in all these places. you had dave mccormick in pennsylvania, but they picked a freak in dr. oz. you had matt dolan in ohio. they picked this hypocrite, jd vance, who is acting like a freak, talking about stolen elections in ohio. so republicans had an opportunity. this is not about us going, oh, they can never win because they're pro-life or -- no, no, those are the candidates that win in georgia. >> yup. >> those are the candidates that win in north carolina. those are the candidates that win in pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin. but they didn't pick the rational, reasonable candidate

herschel walker is not as strong as some had expected him to be. he has been pushed throughout by former president trump. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell has severe doubts about him and did not want him to be the nominee, though he eventually came around, probably because he accepted reality. this may be a republican tied in georgia, but it may not be enough to pull herschel walker across. we will see what happens. host: this is carol in new york, democrats line. go ahead. good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to ask a question about new york state. claudia tenney is my representative in congress. she is in the center of the current 22nd district at the western edge of the new 19th. it is about the 19th i would like to ask a question, specifically how does he rate the democratic candidate to be, i will let him choose either one , compared to the republican, and i would also like to ask about his take on the gubernatorial election in new york. thank you very much. guest: the gubernatorial election, at least right now, appears to be

herschel walker is testing the maximum extent of that.ause he is, i think they've been very few candidates who have ever raised as many doubts about their own qualifications for the job, and he's in the ballgame because georgia is a tipping point state, it's a close state, and voters as we saw with biden's polling, about 34 for 4%, or really unhappy with the way things are going in the country. but even amid all of that, in this poll today by fabrizio and as a lonely, raphael warnock is winning one quarter of the voters who say they disapprove of joe biden. go back to 2018, there was no more than roughly ten or 11% in any state of voters who disapprove to trump who said they're gonna vote for the republican candidate and he's going to win 24%, by the way, john fetterman is very similar to that in another poll today in pennsylvania so, the question is can they separate themselves from what is very real disenchantment with biden, especially by focusing on weaknesses in their opponents? >> speaking of walkers, he still got 93% of republican

raphael warnock is polling well ahead of herschel walker.man polling well ahead of mehmet oz. i mean, it's not as if these are -- this is a winning strategy, but the leadership of the party can't do anything about it because this is what the base wants. >> yeah, they're stuck with what they created. at one point, they decided that it was a good idea for whatever wisdom to let donald trump come in and have his way and to create the optics of the republican party, and now they're stuck with it. now they have a, you know, self-fulfilling prophecy that it's going to be inevitable that these folks are going to get crazier and crazier, and if herschel walker, who i did enjoy in the nfl. >> me too. >> i'm a seahawks fan and he played for the cursed dallas cowboys, but nonetheless, i enjoyed him. still as a candidate, if he is the best you can do, republican party, donald trump, that's not to take really any partisan position. just based on what we don't know, based upon what's been coming out in very recent weeks, there's more bombshells waiting fo

i suspect a lot of people voting for brian kemp might just leave herschel walker blank.s over the line or could this still be a split race? >> absolutely. i think that cliff's point is incredibly apt. the idea that these polls are indicating trends that we are seeing in this moment -- and so, when we are thinking about the midterm elections, it is going to be a battle of the [inaudible] that's what we are looking at. if you are looking at an enthusiastic and determined democratic voting base that is enthusiastic about warnock, i don't see a world where that doesn't translate to the abrams race. but also, to the other exciting races that are on the ticket. talking about secretary of state, -- win and there are some exciting candidates in the state house, with these huge issues on the table. i think that georgians are going to the polls with some demands. and we are talking about protecting bodily autonomy, we are talking about the fact that we are now a -- carry state. we are talking about inflation. these are things that rose to the top in the quinnipiac poll. so, absolu

i am herschel walker, and i approve this message.t: jim, i'm going to ask you, you know, there has been a lot of talk about gop candidates being flawed, but we know in the polling, herschel walker, you know, you talk about j.d. vance, you talk about some of these other candidates. even though they are flawed, they are pulling very well. what do you make of this? guest 2: what do i make of it? i reference to this earlier, and i will reiterate once again, i am in a position where, look, for me, control of the senate is everything, ok? the question is whether democrats can keep the senate, and i am hopeful that we can keep the senate, in part because of candidates like herschel walker, who is a walking disaster. i mean, he just strong nice words together. not sure what they mean, but once you get him on a stop, you know, the guy cannot string together, you know, anything intelligible in english. he is not telling the truth. he has got wacky ideas. and, you know, i can only imagine that senator mcconnell is looking, getting a little nerv

with 85% saying they back him and just 5% who say they back herschel walker.ss than 9% support for republican governor brian kemp. joining me as washington correspondent for the atlanta journal-constitution, commissioner. letitia, think joining us. what do you make of this latest play numbers? the polling numbers shows that raphael warnock as the incumbent does seem to have a slight edge. we had a recent poll as well. we did not show warnock with as much of a commanding lead but we did so show him with a slight edge. and so i think it shows that there are a lot of limitations to herschel walker, his campaign has struggled we know recently. and again, raphael warnock as the incumbent seems to be slightly ahead. but as we know, there are still 100 days until the election. >> i know you wrote about how some of biden's recent legislative winds could actually give democrats a boost in november. but there is a lot coming against them, right? the economy and abortion access among top issues foremost georgia voters. will it be enough? given the challenges that those i

>> raphael warnock has accepted three invitations to debate his opponent, herschel walker. >> yet herschellkers incoherent statements, blatant hypocrisy and passed allegations of domestic abuse, this trump backed candidate, also republican backed candidate, has pushed some of the gop's greatest hits, the bogeyman -- fearmongering -- and the bizarre anti-science claims that are too foolish and too stupid to regurgitate. here -- it's really unclear if they will ever get to hear him defend his so-called agenda on the debate floor. back with me is -- a correspondent at the nations and author of the new york times bestselling's book allow me to retort. my beloved georgia, what are folks doing out? their house is still a toss-up? the poll by the atlanta journal-constitution released wednesday indicates warnock topping walker 46% to 43%. -- make it makes sense for me. >> first of, all i just want to thank the gop for nominating a running back from dallas to run in georgia and a tv doctor from new jersey to run in pennsylvania. thank you guys. but, it's going to be a close election in georgia beca

senate and raphael warnock could end up being the decisive 50th seat. >> it's herschel walker versusruth. >> reporter: the re-election campaign has questioned the gop's preparedness for office. >> is herschel walker really ready to represent georgia? >> hello there. >> reporter: walker's campaign now signaling a reset. this week announcing the addition of several top republican operatives less than two months after the former football star easily clinched the republican nomination boosted by the endorsement of former president trump. >> herschel has been one of the greatest athletes in america, and i know he will go down, also, as one of the greatest senators in america. >> well, hello, atlanta, georgia. >> reporter: warnock is facing his own challenges. >> some of the things we're seeing nationally, issues with inflation and gas prices and the pessimism of joe biden as president is trickling down into georgia voters, even ones that are democrats, even ones that may like raphael warnock. there's this feeling that joe biden and raphael warnock are tied to the hip, that republicans are

>> i've got to go with herschel walker.t herschel walker has reached the venerable todd aiken zone in which yes he is a look at nominee, he has won that nomination. but i don't think the reasonable republican see him as an alternative to raphael warnock who is a genuine georgian for both atlanta and savannah. is the legacy of being in the past for a doctor with the kings church and has done a pretty good job in the senate on a bipartisan basis. herschel walker seems to have completely been in the crazy illegitimate candidate at this point zone. i don't see him being a real threat to raphael warnock. but that said, the caveat there is -- have been on a now for your crusade to suppress votes. and that's always a factor. we can't act like it doesn't matter. even with the subpar candidate likes herschel walker. >> we're gonna talk about the georgia varies a lot more in our hour two with some recent polling suggests. but susan, same question to you. pick a race, even as the same one is don. >> i'm actually watching ohio and j.d.

now we've got to clean that backup. >> that is georgia republican nominee for senate, herschel walkering his stance on the environment, on clean air and climate change particularly. that moment, talking about the good air deciding whether wants to go to the bad air, represents just one of the many reasons why he's not just not a good candidate but they really, truly, catastrophic one. a man who, regardless of ideology or beliefs, simply has no business being a u.s. senator. before and during his campaign, walker has lied repeatedly. he falsely claimed to have graduated in top percentile from university of georgia. he lied about having spent time in law enforcement -- he said he was an fbi one point. he exaggerated success about the claims of his businesses. he's also accused of domestic violence, very serious accusations, reportedly lied to his campaign about his multiple secrets children. in spite all this, walker has a genuine chance to defeat an unambiguously qualified senator who currently holds the sea, raphael warnock. as jelani cobb writes, no one in gop leadership can possibly

what would it mean to georgia and of the country to have a center herschel walker instead of a senatorck? >> we begin by having a senator who has misled the public, misled the party, and misled the people of georgia. as opposed to senator warnock, who has done everything he can to serve our communities. he brought the resources to the state that brian kemp is currently taking credit for advantage of. he has been a champion for allowing croft's -- whether it is prescription drugs or making sure we have gas prices that are lower -- i stand in lockstep with senator raphael warnock because we believe that we can serve georgia. let's be clear, don. you can either have trickle down economics or an economic policy that lifts all boats. unfortunately, whether it is herschel walker or brian kemp, they only serve those who benefit themselves. they have no proven engagement in communities that need their help, including a middle class that is struggling just as hard to stay where they are. raphael warnock is doing that work. i, as an independent and private citizen, have been doing that work. but

oz and herschel walker, that could be one of the reasons why mitch mcconnell isn't.be he's like, let's go back to normal where we are talking about policy as a republican and democratic party. and the only way to do so is by sacrificing some of these senate seats. >> if it's j.d. vance that gets in there, he will take it. >> i think the great irony is that clearly donald trump is pulling these candidates, making fringe candidates more mainstream by supporting them and providing them with outside funding in a way that i think is ironic. when you look at the so-called establishment republicans, you would expect they might create more distance, might have a bigger fight. but instead the national senate committee is sending out mail as late as this week saying protect donald trump's legacy. endorse trump. >> this gets me back. a midterm election is supposed to be a referendum on the current party. but the republicans are allowing another president to basically be on the ballot, too. so we are having a -- if the midterms are up, no longer a referendum but a proxy fight. w

could herschel walker drag down brian kemp?>> we do not see this very often in georgia politics, or really anywhere these days. which is a split ticket dynamic. what we are seeing right now, is especially kemp supporters dropping away from republican herschel walker. either because of his, lies exaggerations, struggled on the campaign trail. right now, herschel walker is doing everything he can just to bring up biden, biden, biden. because biden's approval rating in georgia is just 36%. at the same, time senator warnock is trying to demonstrate his independently precedence, while also his report support for cory democratic policies and proposals. and his call for suspending the gas tax, capping the price of insulin, and other measures that he says will help the states economy, and the national economy, revive. >> renewing concerns about voter suppression, from the recently passed election laws there? >> november is going to be the day task, because even though we have a state primary, we are hundreds of thousands of voters cast

herschel walker in georgia.his one critically important truth. you can vote democratic, and you might still have inflation. because inflation is a worldwide phenomenon not in control of the president. but you can have a democracy, or you can vote republican and you will still have inflation but you will lose your democracy. >> professor biden's approval rating. you just mentioned, it we talked about, it everybody seems to be talking about, it is still sitting below 40%. some candidates like warnock out of georgia have actually been hesitant to campaign with him because of his low approval ratings. historically speaking, how much do a president's numbers factor in the midterm races. >> a presidents numbers definitely factor in midterm elections. because they are outlet for the discontent of the electorate. and low numbers for biden are certainly a bad omen for democrats. but let me tell you, mr. warnock and other candidates. you cannot run away from the president of your own party. that doesn't work. that is play

and herschel walker there's been an image in every household, he has that type of guy. and accusations like this and i promise there will be more. that is how campaigns work. it will tear away at the image. warnock despite having money, he is still a democrat in the worst political environment for democrats in 30 years. herschel walker is in a strong position and needs more today to keep this campaign tight. >> dana: they will spend a lot of money down there, right? >> it is going to be crazy. you know, 2021, we had that ran off $800 million spent. i don't see it being quite that, but once again, georgia the soul of the u.s. senate the stakes couldn't be higher. all eyes will be on herschel walker. >> dana: good to see you as always, thank you. >> thanks, dana. >> bill: $800 million. an update on moscow britney, senator braun lincoln tweeting embassy officials gave a letter from president biden saying we will not relent until britney paul weyland and other wrongfully detained americans are reunited with their loved ones. that came before a judge today. >> dana: it is be

herschel walker was supported by trump. he got put in.ust not a strong candidate going up against raphael warnock who actually is a pretty good politician. this seat should just be a gimme. this should be a given that republicans are going to win and take back the senate seat, and it looks like donald trump yet again is going to leave georgia, put it in line for georgia republicans to lose the seat again. >> georgia isn't the only one. so pennsylvania, john fetterman is ahead of dr. oz. you've got ohio, tim ryan is really doing well now against j.d. vance who seems to be in big trouble there, author of hillbilly-ilogy. even ron johnson who the january 6th mentioned in regard to fake electors is lagging in the polls in possible match-ups. when you look at topher all picture, most people will say to you it's still very much favoring the republicans but not nearly as much as it did before. >> not like the house at all. the map is totally in favor of republicans. you look at the senate, and there could be some friction there and it might not

herschel walker is clearly unqualified to be in the senate, by a large margin.even existing unqualified senators look like lgbt j by comparison. and the schedules and know anything, understand anything. and i think republicans potentially could have problematic candidates in other places. we've got a big arizona primary on tuesday and they put out another unqualified extreme candidate, and like masters. i think the democrats are really benefiting from these weak republican candidates. plus, you know, finally we are seeing some movement from the democrats in the senate with this climate bill coming up, and obviously the aversion of roe. i think it will engage the democratic base. so i think things are deadly looking better in the senate. outlook >> you mentioned doctor oz in new jersey, and the enthusiasm gap is widely favoring this particular race when it comes to john fetterman. there is trolling. you have seen it. of doctor oz new jersey. and, that is not what we're looking at right there. that's not only trolling episode, watch this. >> yeah. doctor oz, stevi

i asked her about herschel walker, she gave a very similar answer to that.he people in georgia, those candidates, whether you like them or not, whether you think they're suitable for office or not, they're doing something the people of georgia like because they're still in the running. they're neck and neck in the polling there, herschel walker is and the former president still has a very high approval rating in georgia where he tried to steal the election. >> you have 13 1/2 hours to get ready for your show. >> i have. and i will not be wearing this. >> come on. >> this is from the '90s. i haven't worn this since the 1990s. >> still fits? >> i haven't worn it since the '90s. >> talk about staying power. >> it just came out of the dry cleaning bag, i'm surprised it hasn't crumbled. >> i'm glad it made its debut with us. >> good to see you, kaitlan. >> good to be here and hang out with you guys. >> and don lemon, thank you very much. you can see more of don lemon on "don lemon tonight" at 10:00 p.m. eastern. >>> vladimir putin meeting with leaders in tehran.

i am thinking of herschel walker, dr. oz, erica brightens, perhaps others.ll's hopes of being the majority leader in the new congress? >> i think you just have to look at his behavior. right now he seems like he is upset about the possibility of the democrats passing this prescription drug bill that you discussed earlier in the show. and also the competitivess bill. i think the democrats clearly want to say we are doing something. we can get things done, and mitch mcconnell's tactic over the years has been to stall, obstruct, he is employing that tactic now at the risk of looking hypocritical because he supports these bills ipast. so, the question becomes what does he think? just what you said, mike, he is worried now that looks better for the democrats with weak republican nominees looking and running for the senate seats. the numbers in georgia have shifted recently with suddenly senator warner doing much better against herschel walker. look in pennsylvania, similar shifts. i think setor mcconnell's were aware of it. >> been where you hearing in conservati

but if candidates like herschel walker, eric brightens and doctor oz are not winning over the voters,possible gop could blow this opportunity? >> well i am very optimistic about the future election coming up in november. the number one issue is inflation. all the issues people care about they look to republicans as the solution on inflation on energy on the economy on the chaos at the border, on crime in the cities. all those nominees you just mentioned some art in the nominees others are still in primaries and others have not been decided. what we know is they understand their states. they understand the pain people are having in those states. and right now you have candidates running as a democrats who just this past week in ohio, the senate and the governor candidate refused to even show up or be seen when president biden came to their state. people are distancing themselves as a democrats from this administration. very optimistic about her opportunities in november. mike: there are few reports that former president trump could announce a third run for the white house before the mi

donna, let's talk about herschel walker and his competence for a moment. he's taking on rafael warnock from georgia, i want to read you a piece from politico. warnock is widely seen as the wide gop opportunities along with nevada, arizona and new hampshire. to make good on those chances most republicans want it to be a clean referendum on joe biden rather than the quality of their candidates. still one republican operative involved in senate races said behind the scenes that earlier this summer there was almost existential concern about the walker campaign. this republican who spoke candidly on condition of anonymity said there is still time for a course correction, but that if the election were today he would not win. are you reading, donna, a sense of panic at all from that reporting among republicans and how could democrats capitalize on somebody like herschel walker and the bizarre comments that he has been making over the last couple of months? >> well, i think that this is why you can even see right now that rafael warnock, senator warnock has an adv
