they see herschel walker as a really flawed canned day.l of allegations behind him involving problematic behavior and i think stays' abrams jumping into the governor's race and ensuring voting rights will be center stage, democrats see that favoring them but republicans have warmed up to walker including mitch mcconnell. they were impressed by his fund raising and his television performances and it's really important that mcconnell get behind walker because it avoids what would have been a very messy civil war between trump and mcconnell so that's eliminated now. i think the big "x" factor that i'm watching, not just in georgia, but in all the senate rations but especially in georgia, is whether the continued false claims of voter fraud by trump and other republicans in the party are going to depress vote turnout. that's something that most republican leaders want to keep in the rear view mirror, but it will be interesting to see whether trump can restrain himself especially when he's out there stumping for canned ghaets georgia. >> no que

and herschel walker running against raphael warnock. what do you make of these developments, tara? >> well, i think it's part of the republican strategy. what they are doing is they are identifying minority candidates, black, api, latinx candidates, and they're finding these very far right candidates, or candidates who are willing to be far right just to run and win, just like trump. and so that's part of their strategy. and i have to say, people need to take it seriously. it's been working. part of why they made some of the inroads that they made this past election cycle at the congressional level, at some of the local levels is because they're finding these right wing candidates who are of color and putting them up to run. and these people are saying things that are dangerous. they're saying things that are harmful, that are divisive, but it's working.
