rafael warnock supports that.all the threats we have, the biggest threat i see facing america is what is happening within. this national self-loathing. the idea america is bad and america is racist. let me tell you, my parents came from it -- and here with eight dollars. the same story many of you have. they worked hard, they put in all the efforts so their children can have a better life. their daughter became the first minority governor in america. [applause] america is not a racist country. america is a country where i saw and talk to the masters at the run, and today love the fact we had freedom of speech, religion and to do be -- and be anything we wanted to be without government getting in the way. you have a distinct difference in herschel walker and rafael warnock. i want to say that, especially to the indian american community that came out. it warms my heart you came.

in many contentious races across the country, including the senate showdown in georgia between rafael warnock and hershel walker. the two faced off in a fiery debate as senator wahas a lead over his challenger. jacqui: president biden touts the massive spending plan in oregon this weekend. we learned that president obama will be giving democrats much-needed star power at high profile events in atlanta, detroit, milwaukee in the coming weeks. we've got coverage with dan springer in portland, but we'll start with the heated georgia senate battle. >> heated indeed. reverend warnock faced hershel walker running for senate as a republican. the two met in a debate in savannah last night and there were fireworks sparring on a range of issues, including abortion, take a listen. >> that a patient's room is too narrow and small and cramped a space for woman, her doctor, and the united states government. >> i just a neat talker, but did he not mention that there's a baby in that room as well? >> on the topic of election integrity, hershel walker acknowledged that president biden legitimately won the 202

that is keeping both herschel walker and rafael warnock under 50%.one of them needs to get 50% on election night. >> no, no, no! not again. >> we will be right back where we were. i could be talking to you in december. so it looks like this could easily go into overtime and then we're going to see these two men really fight it out one-on-one. so the stakes could not be higher, and i don't know that that debate last night did anything to keep us from going into runoff territory. >> well, if we are having that conversation in several weeks, the entire control of the senate could be at stake in the outcome of a runoff. holy smokes. >> yes. it could be, and georgia has been here very recently in those 2021 runoffs and that's where rafael warnock was elected the first time. >> sure. >> it obviously depends on what happens in those other races like pennsylvania, but it certainly could happen and because of georgia's unusual election laws and because ne neither one of these men has ever polled over 50%, that's why a lot of people in the state are saying thi

take a look at rafael warnock's outstanding record as a senator, who he is as a person and compare it to his opponent and i'm confident the voters of georgia will see the clear contrast and support rafael warnock. he will be elected, he will continue to be a senator representing the state of georgia. but we know this is going to come down to the wire, which is why we are going to continue to raise the resources we need. certainly we need grassroots resources not just for georgia, but republicans are extending us with their super pac's, the guys that give a billion dollars for their cost, a massive amount of money coming in from a small number of very wealthy contributors attempting to buy this election. that is why we have defend the senate.org, to support the work we are doing at the kingpin -- at the committee to make sure we can give back the super pac money to buy these elections in key battleground states. so far to -- defendthesenate.org is the place to do that. as long as people in this country who care about the values that we stand for and support what we are doing, we've got

joe: going to that debate i wasn't hopeful that herschel would do bad, he said rafael warnock is a good speaker with some of that barack obama ability to say what conservatives think and turn it at the end am not sure where he is and you are not upset by it. two state of the union addresses, they almost clapped, couldn't quite the deuce what he was getting at. herschel is plainspoken and embraces his accent which we love to have them in georgia and says things like he talked about insulin and made such a good point the georgians will respond to that. this is an interesting race. we have brian kemp, stacy abrams, warnock, who brings voters for who? that is the enthusiasm is what is going to matter. they split like most states or a lot of states, 50/50, who will bring more voters within their side? rachel: i love that drop mike moment on abortion where warnock is a fancy speaker but forgot to mention the baby in the room. he has spoken this, he embraces his country boy thing, set the expectations low very early on, he said this guy is a smooth talking preacher and i am just a country boy

america >> and tonight there will be another high-stakes debate, this time down in georgia senator rafael warnock goes one on one with herschel walker. >>> here we are at the end of the week let's turn to bill karins. how are we looking this morning? >> depends where you are we have a lot of great weather to be had today and through the weekend. but the worst of it is moving up through new england. it was a miserable evening rush hour from new york city to philadelphia it has shifted to the boston area this rain is going to be with us for much of the day, new hampshire and maine, that's where we still have the best chance of seeing flooding and maybe even flash flooding. one to three inches is likely locally. and with the leaves coming down at peak, we've lost a lot of leaves with this rainstorm over the last 24 hours. so today's forecast, notice the southern half of the country, it is still air conditioning weather. 90 san antonio and almt nearosry rain from portland to bangor, maine. beautiful conditions through the rockies all the way through idaho. weekend forecast looks great already. hallow

he was sort of mocking rafael warnock saying they are talking behind your back and don't think you can of trash talking him a bit. the warnock campaign responded with an experience from president obama last night. that's really designed to boost turn out in a big way for both rafael and stacy abrams and the other democrats on the ticket. it's all about turnout now. we'll see where that ends up. >> it is all about turn out. there is turnout for early voting in georgia. is this race in danger of slipping away from them? >> well, if you talk to them on the record, i think they will say they are moving along and everything is on track. i do think there's worry behind the scenes. i think his message has gotten sharper and he's been attacking his opponent directly. when this second abortion allegation came out this past week, he put out a statement and was very critical of herschel walker not telling the truth. in the past he really tried to steer away from being critical. this is a pastor and tends to run on a more positive message. there's some concern on the campaign just from the way the

things work surprisingly well together. >> pizza with pineapple. >> french fry and frost. >> rafael warnocks right, warnock partnered with ted crew to send i-14, connecting military units, to create jobs from columbus to macon to augusta. >> sometimes i wonder, is the benefits of that -- could it hurt you with any base voters who don't want to see you working with the other side at all? >> that's a good ad. two points here. one, the broad swath of middle american voters, what we hear all the time. i want to see them work together, and please work together and accomplish something real. he's showing he's accomplished something real, so he's not above the partisan fray. >> you're talking about the difference in most of these elections. >> it's not a lot of people, but # is it -- >> last time a democrat won alabama? what happened? right? >> herschel walker? i have absolutely no idea. i mean, you were telling me before, it's impossible to know. there's no crystal ball. i think he has a good chance, and i don't think anybody cares about morality, perhaps it's worthy of a more than 30-second disc

former president barack obama rallied with senator rafael warnock and gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams. the common thread in all of their speeches to georgia, go vote and vote for warnock and abrams. >> they are both hard-working, god-fearing, community-serving people who tell the truth, stick to their word, treat everybody with decency and respect. those are the values that they bring to bear. >> yeah, and so democrats are hoping the former president's strong showing will energize their base and hopefully translate into votes for them, particularly among black voters who have felt the chilling effects of high priority issues like inflation and rising crime under the biden administration. and mr. biden says this election is more than about policy and urge folks to vote in order to urge democracy and the fundamental right to abortion and issues that he says shouldn't be left in the hands of the g.o.p. >> they're not interested in actually solving problems. they're interested in making you angry and finding somebody to blame because that way you may not notice that they've got no a

georgia's democratic senator, rafael warnock face-to-face with his republican challenger, herschel walker, the two battling each other on everything from the economy to policing. walker's only personal life under scrutiny with questions whether he paid for an ex to have an abortion. >> i'll be a senator that protects life, and i say that was a life and i'm not backing down. >> demanding answers. >> i think i heard three or four gunshots. there were people screaming. >> new 911 calls released overnight reveal the chaos and confusion during a shooting rampage that left five people dead in raleigh, north carolina. . a 15-year-old suspect in custody as police and grieving family members try to figure out why this tragedy happened. >>> cat scratch fever, conservative candidates under fire for spreading the false claims that schools are providing kitty litter boxes for students who identify as cat. this morning, dissecting misinformation. all that, plus there's no hogwarts without hagrid. >> keeper of keys. >> robbie coltrain died on friday at 72, how his costars are remembering him today. satu

now herschel walker, according to the real clear politics average is beating rafael warnock by a point and a half. how does the election feel to you now that we're eight days out. >> well, now, it feels terrific, carly. it's great to be on with my fellow american citizens. president obama is more than welcome to come back to georgia. i hope he comes back every day before the 8th of november. he's actually helping georgians decide that herschel walker is not just a celebrity turned politician. he's a great guy. he's a man of god. he's a man of faith. he will vote against joe biden every time. and that's exactly why georgia is going to send him to the u.s. senate. >> you know, rose, you're a mom. one of the big things that parents are concerned about, of course, is education. and over the weekend, you had -- we played the clip, you had the former president saying that if republicans win, they're not going to allow tax dollars -- they will allow tax dollars to fund private schools. he used that sort of as a criticism of republicans. do you agree with that sort of line of attack? >> yeah,

i want to ask you about the response from the democratic incumbents, rafael warnock, who has decideddirectly attack herschel walker to address these claims on the campaign trail. given the high stakes of georgia, is that a mistake, congresswoman? >> i don't know. i think what mr. walker is doing himself is enough for voters to see, right? he's being accused of something, he's not admitting it or dodging. people are saying that people make mistakes, but not admitting that mistake. i understand the instinct, and answer for his own record and not take that as a moment to kind of double down on the attack. >> abortion is obviously an issue you care a lot about, and abortion is actually on the ballot in your state. in fact the proposal would enshrine the right to an abortion. opponents argue the problem with it is that it's too wide ranging, there are no limits. so let me put this question to you directly. would you like to see limits? >> yeah. i mean, the ballot initiative we had says you have a right to abortion up to viability, and afterwards it has to because of the health of the moth

there is the same thing for rafael warnock. as you look at georgia, they will look at both of these candidates. how will they react to all of this news? do you think at the end of the day it will come down to issues? >> i think if it comes down to issues, warnock is just gone. he is wrong on virtually everything georgians believe in. he knows that. which is why he is trying to drag this campaign down into the mud in the hopes that he can drown herschel walker in mud. i talked to herschel about this this morning. i have known herschel well. i think he's a remarkable person. i think he's the most important senate candidate in the country. he will do more to change this and it just by the sheer presence by his confidence and deep commitment to christ. by to the degree of which he has been through a long, tough period. he had a lot of concussions coming out of football. he suffered ptsd. he's given over for hundred 80 speeches on military bases around the world teaching young soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines that you can recov

>>sean: in georgia, a poll shows that rafael warnock is dead even there and slight lead 2.5 point lead for herschel walker and clear panicking and try to stop him from winning and joining us now is republican senate candidate from the great state of georgia, herschel walker and lindsay graham from south carolina you know, i was watching special report earlier and i noticed that another woman has come forward and made an allegation, and not one bit of evidence was presented that you were involved in any way in an abortion. the only evidence presented is you might have dated some girl that gloria allred is representing and you deny it completely. >> it's a lie, sean, and i hope everyone see they would do and say anything for power and they don't realize they're messing with the wrong georgia here. this seat is too important for me to step down so now they're going to have to come through me to get to anyone else because if they can do it to me, they'll come after you next. i'm going to be in the way so i'll go out and win this seat and i think after senator warnock showed he was a terrib

not as though rafael warnock is cleaner than the driven snow.nal drama, wife allegations, child support issue. republicans took a gamble running a bunch of first-time candidates, people untested but there has been a lot of coordinated messaging and it kind of has been the chickens coming home to roost. what can we attribute a lot of late term surge for the republicans too? not just gas prices going back up modestly, not just inflation coming back into the forefront of everyone's minds. a lot of independent voters finally choosing a side. for a while you had double hater voters. they're finally breaking. one last point hispanics are pretty much dead-even between stacey abrams and brian kemp. interesting enough they favor herschel walker over rafael warnock. new poll from the agc. neil: wild. tiana lowe on all of that. how this entire race could revolve around the number seven, a 7% mortgage rate. we are getting awfully close. how that sorts out at the polls, all of sudden you can't buy a house. ♪.

democratic senator reverend rafael warnock hit the polls this morning. he is attempting to fend off a challenge from nominee and football legend herschel walker. walker today acknowledged for the first time that he did indeed send a $700 check to a woman who alleged the money was provided to reimburse her for an abortion. walker denies he sent the check for that purpose. walker is also defending his use of an honorary sheriff's badge which he flashed on friday night at the debate. voters couldn't see them face off again before election day. as eva mcken reports, turnout is expected to top previous midterm records because the ballot there features a full slate of heated races. >> it's time to get underway. >> reporter: georgia republican herschel walker defending his move to pull out an honorary badge. >> this is from the sheriff of johnson county which is a legit badge. everyone could make fun but this gives me the right -- let me finish. if anything happened in this county, i have the right to work with the police and get things done. >> the gop nominee

i hope people can see right now that rafael warnock and the left will do whatever they can to win this realize they messed with the wrong georgian here. reporter: the unnamed woman who spoke but only off-camera made those accusations has not been named but her attorney did speak on camera. >> mr. walker drove her to the clinic and waited in the parking lot for hours until the abortion was completed and she came out. reporter: democratic senator rafael warnock has said this abortion issue points to a larger problem with walker. the campaign released a statement that says we know herschel walker has a problem with the truth, a problem answering questions and a problem taking responsibility for his actions but as you mentioned, neil, republican leadership still standing with walker. he campaigned this morning here in georgia with senator lindsey graham. neil, back to you. neil: thank you very much. steve harrigan in cummings, georgia with all of that. democrats doing the same thing rallying around their beleagured senate candidate in pennsylvania and bringing out the big guns to do it. wh

here is an ad that rafael warnock ran this year that is nothing but a clip of herschel walker giving an interview. >> i want to say something that i probably shouldn't. you know right now i have something that can bring me to a real room that would clean you from covid and walk through this. as you walk through the door, it would kill any covid on your body. when you leave, it kills the virus as you leave this here product. they don't want to talk about that. they don't want to hear about that. >> i'm rafael warnock and a prove this message. >> that's the whole ad. claiming he has a dry mist that can kill all of your covid. another time responding to the school shooting in uvalde, texas, walker proposed a department that can look at young men that is looking at women that is looking at social media. i mean, sure. okay. there was a time he seemed to suggest there is no point in investing in clean air in the united states because china will just take our clean air and send their bad air over here. at least i think that's what he was saying. and walker routinely exaggerated his business

state of georgia is heating up with a debate between republican herschel walker and democrat rafael warnock. georgia is one of those seats that could determine which party controls the u. s. senate following the midterm elections in november. and officials in nigeria say they're struggling to get food and fuel to areas affected by the worst floods in a decade. well than 500 people have died and around 90000 homes are under water. 27 of my jury is 36 states have been hit. those are you headlines. we back with more news hair on al jazeera, that's after one. 0, one east. stay with us. on counting the cost, opec plus has agreed to major oil production cups, u. s. is not happy with florida relevant, so the i m f as the outlook for the global economy. gall, can we find out how some african countries are making the ship, the green energy, counting the cost on al jazeera in nepal to we women die in child, but every day i kind of hold on that because i don't the don't, we don't know a little bit of a lot of money, but you're in remote areas. there's an acute lack of help can i have had with the lang

brendan, a lot of people are criticizing rafael warnock. he was better in a debate that did not have walker face-to-face last night. but for not going after him more and also the format because it seemed when a moderator asks walker after all this controversy over the abortion issue when christian showed him a check and he acknowledged that was indeed his signature, but fact he was given one minute to rebut that from the moderator then warnock didn't follow up. was there a missed opportunity, brendan, do you think from the democratic incumbent senator in that debate? >> well, warnock clearly has a strategy that he doesn't think he needs to get into the mud on this and that he's hurting walker. in the second debate when walker wasn't there, he thought to bring it up. i think the debate was really good for walker in a few ways. one, he skated on this issue largely that we're discussing, but he also showed up and looked a lot more competent than a lot of people were looking for. now, the bar was low. he has said himself he's not a very smart g

public speaking and surprised both his supporters and detractors as he debated democrat senator rafael warnock on a series of issues including the economy. >> he said he would not have voted for the inflation reduction act and i think he should tell the people of georgia why they should have expensive insulin and the pharmaceutical companies should charge them whatever he likes. >> i believe in reducing insulin and you have he may not know and i know many people on insulin unless you have eating right, insulin is doing you no good. you have to get food prices down and gas so they can go get insulin. >> during the debate walker accused senator warnock of being anti-law enforcement and warnock responds that he often prays with the families of fallen officers, you can support police while still being accountable and walker's repeated claims in campaigns that he is a police officer. >> one thing i have not done i've never pretended to be a police officer and, and i've never threatened a shootout with the police. >> now what is so funny, i am with many police officers and at the same time-- >> mr.

i think this debate between herschel walker and rafael warnock and otherishes come up toar race thattal to senate control this november. >> and republican senator candidate rafael warnock has remained quiet throughout all of this. did democrats view this as a wise decision on his part. to sit this one out. >> we'll see. especially as we get closer to the debate, how much democrats want to make this an issue. how much they want to aggressively campaign on this issue. i think there has been calculus that just allowing herschel walker to sort of walk in his own shoes and sort of try to figure this out on his own and as he has stumbled over his answers sort of getting the political blowback by not even addressing this, some democrats think that it doesn't make sense to pour more water on this fire. just allow herschel walker to suffer on his own. now that is a question that a number of democrats have, as to whether or not they should lean in on this more and we may see over the course of the next several weeks with this debate whether democrats decide to try to help voters to focus on th

he has been trying to unseat a newly elected democrat there, rafael warnock.r test for a republican party that has finally achieved at the supreme court what it claimed for 50 years it wanted to do, which is to overturn roe vs. wade to then ban abortion. that's always the whole plan. you overturn roe, which protected some abortion rights in some ways, although it was narrowed over time, and then ban abortion. so this is a question about where they stand, and do they think herschel walker, is he supporting murder? as some republicans put it publicly when it's other people. so top republicans now are basically trying to figure out how to deal with this. now, the daily beast had these pieces of evidence, including receipts from the abortion clinic, a signed bank deposit. so facts are a part of the story, and it would appear republicans are worried that the facts show that mr. walker did pay for this abortion, which, as mentioned, contradicts their entire set of rules they want to install in america for everyone else. so here's how they're dealing with it. >> walk

the georgia senate race between rafael warnock and republican herschel walker, will help determine whichontrols the u.s. senate. over the weekend, walker sat down for an exclusive interview with nbc's kristen welker. kristen welker joins us. great seeing you. what did walker tell you about the many controversies he is facing? >> reporter: he sat down with us after his first and only debate. he touted the need for energy independence to trump and obama. and i asked about the largest controversy swirling around his campaign. of course the allegations that the staunch anti-abortion candidate paid for a former girlfriend to have an abortion in 2009 which he is again denying. in a one-on-one interview in his hometown of wrightsville, georgia, herschel walker providing his comments about allegations he paid for an ex-girlfriend to have an abortion in 2009. >> why not reach out to her? >> why should i? why do i need to? >> reporter: nbc news has spoken to that former girlfriend who provided us with a copy of a $700 check that walker gave her to pay for the abortion and a receipt from the medica

. >> i'm rafael warnock approve this message. >> for you, herschel walker was to ban abortion. >> i've no exception in my mind. >> it's not a national ban on abortion right now and, i think that's a problem. >> for himself? >> herschel walker, paid friend abortion for his then girlfriend. >> she supported her claims with a 575 dollar receipt from the abortion clinic. >> even his own son is saying walker is lying. >> is that your signature on the check? >> yes, that's my-- >> rafael warnock's campaign manager avoided talking about racial war walker's personal story with abortion. that's over. now we will be joining with met the hassan to discuss -- discussing a ban on in vitro fertilization. that's right, you heard that right. that's next. and must be taken within 5 days from when symptoms first appear. if you have symptoms of covid-19, even if they are mild, don't wait, get tested quickly. if you test positive and are at high risk of severe disease, act fast. ask if an oral treatment is right for you. covid-19 moves fast, and now you can too. breakthrough heartburn... means your heartb

he's neck in neck with rafael warnock, what impact is all of this having on walker? >> it is likely to go to a december runoff. a shocking bomb shell report comes out, walker denies it as a lie or doesn't address it at all, and national republicans rally to his side. you know, it's a very important development here in georgia, will it affect the race. even democrats highly doubt that possibility because as one elected official texted me last night, if the first report claiming that herschel walker pressed an ex-girlfriend to get an abortion, why should a second right now? >> what will decide this race in the end? as you say, we're likely to go into december on in on a runoff. where will this break, what are independents looking at, the economy, inflation? >> it is the economy, but that's such an important question because there's basically three blocks of republican voters, republican voters who don't believe the reports, don't care about them. a second block of republican voters that believe them, but think that republican control of the senate trumps everything els
