early voting in georgia where republican governor brian kemp and democratic challenger stacey abrams n a very intense debate last night. pushing abrams on her past anti-police rhetoric, listen. >> how many sheriff state wide to have endorsed your campaign? >> mr. kemp, what you continue to do is tell the lie you have told so many times, i believe you think it is the truth. i support law enforcement and have for 11 years. >> she will not answer the question so the answer is zero. no sheriffs are endorsing her state wide because wanting to defund the police. >> also during the debate, abrams launching a wild ex-eustachian at the governor claiming he is responsible for rising prices. listen to this month. >> he has promised to take care of our families and yet the rising prices in georgia are rising because he will not expand medicaid and sitting on $400 million that he will not spend to keep us under ribs and in our homes. >> meanwhile in ohio tim ryan, j.d. vance facing off. the republican nominee calling out the congressman after thousands of steelworkers lost their jobs in his distri

these are the policies stacey abrams supports.ted to be his vice presidential candidate and these are the policies she would bring to georgia. we are fighting against that. >> steve: governor, i looked at right now the clear average you are leading her currently by three points, although the latest poll has to up by 12 which appears to be an outlier. one of the reasons you are on today is because early voting has now started in georgia. are you encouraging georgians to vote early or would you prefer that they vote on election day or what is your approach to get out the vote? >> we are pushing people to get out to vote and i think it was pretty funny, you know, stacey abrams accused me of being a voter suppressor. i pushed back really hard on that last night, but yesterday we had record turnout for early voting the first day of the midterm election in georgia so the hopes of her pressure major league baseball moving the all-star game because our laws are oppressive and joe biden vice president harris were in the mix criticizing our

>> stacey abrams. shane: oh, we switched gears, i have hearing problems. i mentioned -- as the executive of georgia when we come into a cbdc, will you as an executive except the ccp style currency? stacey: i believe currency is a complicated issue, the security threat with digital currency hacking and mining of that digital currency should concern all georgians. as the governor i will work closely with the federal reserve as well as the innovators and under menorahs that see opportunity. before -- entrepreneurs that see the opportunity. we need to see the complexity of what is happening with these transactions. as exciting as it is we know it is deeply problematic when do not have the aggregate -- adequate safeguards in place. that is why i raise concerns about the chat and the perp -- wechat and the purchase of farmland. we need a governor that understands for example that in the state of georgia we access to $3.5 billion in american currency that could be delivered tomorrow to save our hospitals and save our lives. the current governor has refused to acce

again, people now know stacey abrams as well. i do not necessarily think people are saying i have turned my back on stacey abrams. i just think some of the factors that helped fuel her campaign four years a are not as much in play as they were then. geoff: we talked about some of the personalities in this race. that's talk about the policies. what has been the central issue for georgians so far heading into the midterms? tia: so, we've done a lot of formal and informal polling at the atlanta journal constitution and what we are seeing enjoyed your is what we are seeing playing out across the country, which is that inflation, the economy, those pocketbook issues are number one among voters. what also motivates voters, maybe not number one, but also important to them, are things like climate change, abortion rights, crime. those are still important. the number one factor for voters regardless of parity -- party or political affiliation is the economy. geoff: tia mitchell joining us for our weekend briefing. thank you so much. the n

stacey abrams attacks and denies.g worth about $300,000 to millions. how did she do that? what did she deliver in that time? remember the major league baseball, right, when she wanted them out and georgians lost over $300 million. her defund the police policy she still supports with the organizations that she is on the board of or helped support. so she stands there and tells georgians i'm for this. but, someone a tacks and then denies, rather than putting forward an actual solution of what she said last night. she may sound air indict and nice. you are not wrong about the way they presented the tone. it's not enough to swing georgia voters, especially independence who tend to lean reasonable and right in georgia if you look at their history. >> steve: laura, i know she did try to redirect attention to abortion and other things. but the number one issue to everybody across the entire country, whether you are in georgia or, you know, pennsylvania, pennsylvania, arizona is the economy. and ultimately, i think brian kemp

at one point trump even said he might support stacey abrams over brian kemp, but he survived that. i'm wondering, how much easier does it make it for him running as a republican who stood up to donald trump, who can say i'm conservative but also to those voters in atlanta's northern suburbs, can also say you don't have to worry about me being trump crazy, i stood up to him and i'm the conservative. >> reporter: that's a major factor, joe. that's according to the republicans and the democrats i talked to. the fact that brian kemp did stand up to donald trump, rejected his fabricated claims about a stolen election in 2020 and certified the rightful victory of joe biden, who won by a very narrow margin, fewer than 12,000 votes, but he did win, that has given him distance from trump and helps with the crossover voter who is supported republicans but could not do it again in 2020. think about the suburbs of atlanta, college graduates, white college graduates in particular who liked the republican party when they were more the party of reagan, focusing on less regulation and fewer taxes,

stacey abrams running for governor in georgia. both trying to say, both trying to tell voters, please worry about this issue. >> the republicans control the house and the senate, we won't be able to codify roe versus wade so i will spend all my time trying to fight a national abortion ban. >> he has weakened our privacy rights and women's rights. he has denied women the access to reproductive care. the most dangerous thing facing -- >> it's interesting watching this play out in the sense that ohio, donald trump won, a red state but tim ryan surprisingly competitive here, georgia stacey abrams just lost to brian kemp four years ago, joe biden did carry the state since then. democrats think especially in the suburbs this helps. the question is it's a tug-of-war between which issue matters most or how do you balance them? >> ryan, not surprisingly competitive if you watched the debate all the way through. a good showing against j.d. vance but one thing, these elections are specifically about consequences and you push on any issue in

ifrt if lady jill biden will join stacey abrams at a campaign event today.l first lady of very unpopular president help stacey abrams, who is down big time to governor kemp? >> not going to, i think. stacey abrams is president of the interga lactic council or whatever it is. this is just another attempt by stacey abrams to prop up her campaign and the media trying to prop it up with the atlanta journal say good news for stacey abrams in otherwise bad poll. okay, really? this is not happening, stacey abrams has not had lightning in the bottle she had four years ago, people are seeing what brian kemp has done. >> carley: show was president of the world in star trek episode. >> she still thinks she is governor. >> carley: that is true, thank you for joining us and check out the doug collins podcast, as well. thank you, doug. fox news alert. off-duty police officer is one of five shot and killed in raleigh, north carolina and heartbreaking details about the ambush that left two connecticut police officers dead. >> todd: talking about this violent week for law en

in georgia, brian kemp squares off with his democrat opponent stacey abrams for the first time in the gubernatorial rematch and what they will be telling voters. what will happen there in the first big election cycle since donald trump allegedly tried to overturn the 2020 election in that state. we have a report on what election officials are doing to stress test new security features meant to protect the process. and the senate race is tight in ohio, republican jd vance and congressman tim ryan will debate for the second time and what voters tell us they're looking to hear from the two men. and where it all stands, new numbers out today shows a lot has changed in the last month. can we trust those numbers though? are they outliers? we will get some expert opinion on that. i'm katy tur in for hallie jackson. with me now is nbc news correspondent blaine alexander in atlanta, jesse kirsch in youngstown, ohio, and nbc news senior political editor mark murray is here with us as well. start us off, blayne alexander. give us the expectation for tonight's debate. >> well, this is a closely-w

community. >> todd: it seems that if you listen to the polls brian kemp has a very sizable lead over stacey abramsening this out to the entire state on that same ballot will abrams parent weakness hurt raphael warnock in the senate race? >> you know what? we sure hope so, but i'm not 100 percent sure. i think they are in two different lanes especially when it comes to the minority community. trying to link them together is the most difficult part. i think seeing them with president obama was the first time i've seen them together since the campaign process started. so i'm not sure but i certainly hope so. >> todd:. >> todd: we'll see, janelle king thank you very much always great insight with that turn to fox news meteorologist adam for your forecast. great insight on weather. >> lot of halloween forecasts last day of october, feeling nice out there for a lot of folks, you don't need to cover up costumes too much. early this morning a lot of temperatures hanging right in the 50s in some cases though cooler spots temperatures have dropped down into the 40 degree range as we are currently seeing tha

i just listened to some of what oprah talked about with stacey abrams. came here last year in october to help the other side to win. visited 7 black churches and it didn't work because people understand what is really going on. they decided to make a different choice when republicans. ed to reopen the schools. the democrats said no. and said that we were being racist and wanted to kill the black children. can you believe that's the rhetoric? you know who didn't believe it. enough black people and enough latino people. they talk about racism. i say this to you. let me read it because i am fact checked everywhere i go. president biden 2006 said this: you can't go to a 7-11 or a dunkin doughnuts unless you have a slight indian accent." this is the man who claims to love everybody. we don't even have to go that far. let's see what he said in 2020 -- >> sean: i can up the ante. he partnered with a former klans man berg against the integration of public schools and didn't want the schools to become racism youngles. that's -- jungles. >> yes. and bird was an ex

while democrats continue to focus mostly on abortion, that includes stacey abrams in georgia who justttempted to make the case that these two issues, the economy and abortion, are tied together. >> let's be clear. having children is why you're worried about your price for gas, it is why you're concerned how much food costs. for women this is not a reductive issue, you can't reduce being forced carrying an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. >> when pressed by peter doocy about the comments, the white house press secretary did the, you know, dodge. >> georgia, the president's endorsed candidate for governor stacey abrams is suggesting that one way to mitigate effects of inflation is to get an abortion. does president biden agree? >> i did not see her comments on this so i don't know the context on this. again, i want to be careful because this is a political debate and it is related to a midterm, an election, so i'm not going to comment on that. >> let me help her out. a member of the administration said the exact same thing, secretary yellen, and said it

i think that stacey abrams will come out swinging.ill try to emphasize her support for issues like gun control, i should say. expanding medicaid, abortion rights, reversing these states 2019 law that restricts abortion rights. these are the issues she hopes will energize democratic voters, who in the polls so far, you know, are giving her 45, 46%. but of course, she needs to gharib -- narrow that gap. >> i've talked to a lot of strategist. and they say that stacey abrams can close the gap. she is still in this race. i'm wondering, as an objective election observer, all things georgia politics -- what do you think? >> look, one of the biggest problems for sit daisy abrams is that governor kemp support has been solid. he has consolidated the republican party support even with donald trump's opposition earlier this year. and swing voters are, in some polls at least, breaking towards him. while at the same time, a significant number of kemp supporters are backing senator raphael warnock against herschel walker. she can aim for those voter

this is a top issue for the president and for stacey abrams this week. it's why i continue to talk about forty-year high inflation caused by disastrous policies in washington, d.c. disastrous domestic energy policy in our country that has caused high gas prices. we have been fighting to help georgians fight through all the bad policies in washington, d.c. they keep saying ridiculous things like this. >> i think we now see that the democrats agenda consists of more abortion, more pot, probably more porn and more discussion of january sixth. that's kind of it. they cannot point to anything else. that hasn't worked either, obviously. >> you know, laura, it's those type of things. it's also attacking our records because they don't want to talk about their own records. certainly the record of this president. they don't want to talk about the things i just mentioned. inflation, gas taxes, the disaster at the border. i have seen that with my own eyes for times. we still have georgia national guard troops down there. you have a president and a person like stacey

change is to have somebody new. >> current republican governor brian kemp is ahead of democrats stacey abramsn the polls. it's their second match after camp narrowly beat abrams in 2018. greg steen says this year is different. >> she is now running against a governor who has a record. that's made it really hard. >> that record now includes signing a long getting abortions in geoia after fetal heart is detected and signing the law allowing gun owners to conceal without a permit. on the economy, kemp touts his decision to ease covid-19 restrictions early in the pandemic. stacey abrams condemned his time as governor. >> what do you plan to do to overcome the pulling margin between you and governor kemp? >> i am going everywhere and talking to everyone. our second responsibility is to remind people of what has happened in the first four years -- in the last four years. 38,000 people died of covid. he risked our lives to be first. he did not put in place any protections for our workers, he did not put in place in place any investment for our people and he did not put in place any plans for our fut

early voting underway in georgia were republican governor brian kemp and democratic challenger stacey abrams went head-to-head in an intense debate last night. the incumbent pushing abrams on her past and i police rhetoric. listen. >> how many sher sheriff sherifs have >> i think you believe it's the truth. i support law enforcement and did so for 11 years. >> ms. abrams refused to answer the question so i let you know the answer is zero. no sheriffs are endorsing her statewide because of her stance to want to defund the police. >> carley: during that the feet abrams launching a wild accusation at the governor saying he's responsible for rising prices. >> promised to take care of our families get the rising prices in georgia are rising because he refuses to expand medicaid and he's sitting on $400 million of our money that he will not spend keep us in our homes. >> senate hopeful j.d. vance also facing off the air the republican nominee calling out the current congressman after thousands of steel workers lost their in his district. >> what were you doing on those renewable solutions and your

forward to leading a georgia where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. >> reporter: democrat stacey abramst 55,000 votes and now she's challenging an incumbent governor. during the the hour long policy heavy debate they sparred on voting access, crime and abortion. kemp who signed the six week abortion ban into law neglected to say if he would sign new limits if reelected. >> i'm not going to say yes or no to any specific piece of legislation without seeing what it's doing. it's not my desire to move the needle any further on this issue. >> reporter: asked whether she would back any restrictions to abortion, abrams said she didn't support, quote, arbitrary time lines. >> abortion is a medical choice. and as such, it should be a woman has the ability to make a decision until viability. and that decision about viability should not impact her life or her health. that is a decision that should be made between a doctor and a woman. as a medical choice >> reporter: the debate comes as the final week of early voting is under way in the state and continues to shatter previous records. almost 1.5 m

talking about the conservation around stacey abrams and donald trump.on the ballot, there will definitely be a lot of chaos with election appeals and there is some possibility of election upheaval. thanks to that man, he made elections a dangerous process. another person was weighing in all over social media. look there and you know where to find me @thelauracoates. a danger there tyreke knows very well, having been shot 11 times when he was a drug dealer. after serving time, he's been a force for good providing a safe haven to local youth. that's why he's this week's cnn hero. >> when you run a block, you're the one community people know. it a dangerous life but a normal life. going to jail really woke me up. our community was going to follow me for negative stuff. i said let me see if they follow me for something positive. you can grab what you want. in 2019 we opened the community engagement center that used to be at the community drug house but now it's a safe place for our children. how many people here got kids? we provide clothing, food, vegetabl

remember when stacey abrams said there's no such thing as a heart beat at 6 weeks. georgia democratic gubernatorial candidate made this shocking statement on sunday. >> where would you draw the line? 15 weeks viability, 13 weeks? what's the limit? >> the arbitrary standards of time lines ignore the medical reality that it is a fallacy we know exactly when a regularity starts. jackie: okay, first she said there was no heart beat at 6 weeks. now she's talking about the time lines here. what's interesting is the democrats always follow the science when it's convenient for them and works with their narrative, but they're not doing it on abortion. she's actually advocating for late-term abortion and that's because georgia -- in georgia we may see a rule where the limit would be six weeks. so she's kind of taking the extreme point of view here and some people are going for it. gianno: well, democrats followed science many, many years ago and i think those days are pretty much over. when you listen to her answer, i don't know if it's 8 months is her limit. it was a politic

on stacey abrams' part she went after him on a number of things. one of the things about stacey abrams that has changed is that she has risen to national prominence. a lot of things she's said over the past three years has also remained in the spotlight. so we heard her speak on her issue of access to the ballot, voting rights. and also talked about other issues, expanding medicaid across the state, access to education. i think the one thing that saw the biggest clash between the two of them was the topic of gun control and guns here in the state of georgia. and also the issue of support from law enforcement. here's a little bit of that exchange. take a look. >> i do have the support of sheriffs. unlike mr. kemp, i do not make it my plan to list every person who supports me. i have the sport of sheriffs, advocates, victims, of those who want to be treated fairly in our system. >> i'll let you know the answer is zero. no sheriffs are endorsing her statewide because of her stances on wanting to defund the police, eliminate cash bail. >> during the de

first let's go to camp versus stacey abrams.e national significance even in this gubernatorial race, rematch, and i think brian kemp has very much been portrayed nationally as the person -- the republican who stood up along with the secretary of state in georgia to president trump to -- around the issue of the 2020 election. but in georgia, can you talk about his history with voter suppression? >> right. when brian kemp was the secretary of state, he went after a group of black women in georgia because they had learned hoto use absentee ballots and they were able then to gain access -- they were able to win elections to the school board. and so voter fraud, voter frd, voter fraud was plastered by brian kemp. you see the newspaper that has what is called the quitman templates to on their orange traveling jumpsuits, making it really clear black folks use absentee ballots, it must be fraudulent. he brought the georgia bureau of investigation's in there to investigate this voter fraud. there were no convictions. the charges were dro

it is possible that if kemp runs up and they win over stacey abrams he could pull herschel walker inith him. walker's problem is that he does not have any more momentum is actually heading in the wrong direction after what seems pretty obvious where the lies that he told about having not paid for an abortion. for a brief period a week ago or so he was like well maybe i did do it. and then he retreated to lying in saying he didn't but there is a lot of evidence that he did. they have receipts. this really hurts the walker campaign and he was not doing very well even before that because he does not have really any qualifications. >> jonathan, when you talk about i'm hearing you say it sounds like he could win if ryan kemp does on his coattails but how often does someone go in and vote on the top of the ticket or for one facet of the ticket and just leave the other blink and don't just about down ballots. how often does that happen? not necessarily saying i'm going to vote for warnock in this case and camp but maybe just camp. >> it does happen. i don't think anybody knows exactly how o

stacey abrams saying she didn't lose. my job is do everything i can to get people to feel comfortable that elections are fair. >> that's where you get into the both sides argument or the what about-ism. hillary clinton said she worries about the 2024 election. it's a fair point to say should stacey abrams have been clear about the 2018 election. you can debate that in georgia. you have a rematch, gubernatorial election. if you want to say those things are wrong, let's say they are misdemeanors or down here, compared to saying the january 6th defendants are being persecuted, playing qanon tleems themes at your trump rally. that's what you get. >> the fact of the matter is a lot of these republicans are uncomfortable with the extreme that you mentioned of the qanon at the rally and saying people were persecuted, but they do not want to repel their base and not have them come out and vote. so they're trying to maintain this very delicate balance, but what ween up having is this what about-ism that doesn't make sense, and peo

stacey abrams and raphael warnock. oming close but narrowly losing in 2018. she's putting more of a focus on mobilization organizing. her theory of politics has been at their large chunks of disaffected americans and states like georgia. we don't typically vote. look at the mobilize and inspire to vote act empower democrats -- she's trying to do that by highlighting a populace, progressive platform. things like raging teacher pay, ascending childcare funding, affordable housing. those are the issues that stacey abrams is running on. in that governor's race against brian kemp. meanwhile, on the senate side the dakar -- raphael warnock's putting more emphasis on persuasion. he's making direct appeals to those voters around the atlanta suburbs. they used to vote republican, but they've been turned off by donald trump, and are interested in voting for democrats. but not solid democrats either. one of the things that he was anticipating in the debate was for his opponent, herschel walker, to attack him as a -- president bide

you have stacey abrams in georgia saying it's basically the flipside of what a lot of republicans aresaying. we don't trust our elections anymore. we don't trust the polls. we don't trust these things. if we break down as a, country don't trust elections to be truthful and faithful, then democracy is in trouble. and that's what everybody should be concerned about, whether you're democrat or republican. and it shows up amongst republicans as well as democrats on the left and the right. [inaudible] >> you have one party that focuses on -- >> i want to hear all of you. >> no, i was just gonna say, i think your point is fair. i think you have to put the lion's share of that onus on former president trump, for stoking so much distrust in the 2020 results. it's one thing to question them, it's a another thing to pursue your legal case, it's another thing two years later to, say this whole thing was -- >> listen, ask me if i thought donald from trump won in 2020. >> he lost. my point is most people i think the illinois rt. there are some subsection of people who don't. >> [inaudible] >> our

georgia is lucky to have stacey abrams and sanford bishop fighting for our abortion rights, while someing to limit abortion rights to six months, or even five months after conception. we are so lucky to have stacey abrams and sanford bishop fighting to protect our right to have an abortion up until the date of birth. >> oh god! that is just so -- >> well, sick. >> sick, and very overt, right? >> i've been around for a few elections, and this goes on and every election where these nasty robocalls go out at the 11th hour. it's not the 11th hour yet i get. but they make these calls, and nobody knows who really pays for them. that's a dirty trick. >> normally, they go out so late, and that when you do catch, or you figure out who's doing it, whose funding it, at that point, the elections already done. >> we used to call them suppression calls -- >> well, that's more across the line. those calls are illegal. i mean, the goal may be -- >> i mean, there have been calls telling people the wrong dates, the wrong places to go. that is definitely a suppression call. but this is as old as the sout
