Hear why GOP official in Georgia says he couldn't vote for Herschel Walker

RECENTLY, JEFF DUNCAN, THE LT REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA, SAYS HERSCHEL WALKER WAS GRANTED A MULLIGAN IN THE SECOND ROUND, A FEW EXTRA WEEKS TO CONVINCE DEMOCRATIC DEMOCRATS TO CHANGE THEIR MIND. LEGISLATOR OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, BAKARI SELLERS. THERE ARE ACTUALLY SIX DAYS LEFT, DO YOU THINK HERSCHEL WALKER HAS CONVINCED ENOUGH GEORGIAN TO SEND HIM TO THE SENATE? WELL, THERE IS A SERIOUS ENERGY IMBALANCE RIGHT NOW. THE WARNOCK CAMPAIGN APPEARS TO BE GAINING SHAPE AND MOMENTUM. AND EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE TV, THERE'S AN AD RUNNING. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE WALKER'S SIDE.

I THINK HE MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A BRIEF PERIOD OF FIVE DAYS WHEN HE WAS ABSENT FROM THE CAMPAIGN ROAD. THE ADS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE THAT NUMEROUS. AND IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF ENERGY. THIS CAME TO THE SUBURBS. CAN YOU GET THE 200,000 PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR BRIAN KEMP BUT VOTED FOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK TO COME IN AND CLICK ON HIS NAME? AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THIS IS HAPPENING. THEN, HE TOLD CNN IN THE FALL THAT WALKER DIDN'T DO ENOUGH TO GET HIS RESPECT OR VOTE IN NOVEMBER. WILL YOU VOTE FOR HIM NEXT TUESDAY?

Reporter: HE PRESENTED TO VOTE THIS MORNING. I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO LINE UP AND SPEND LIKE AN HOUR WAITING. IT WAS THE MOST DISAPPOINTING BALLOT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE SINCE I STARTED VOTING. I HAD TWO CANDIDATES THAT I JUST COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT MADE SENSE TO PUT MY VOTE ON. So, I left the polls and went to

vote

, but I didn't

vote

for any of them. THEN YOU DIDN'T VOTE. DIANNE GALLAGHER REPORTS WE ARE SEEING RECORD NUMBERS OF EARLY VOTING IN GEORGIA. So do you think that's good news for the Democratic campaign or because we're talking about a runoff and a really compressed schedule, is that conventional wisdom thrown out the window?

NO, THIS IS DEFINITELY GOOD NEWS FOR DEMOCRATS. WE HAVE SEEN THE TRENDS. INSTEAD OF HAVING THIS ELECTION DATA WHERE REPUBLICANS FLOOD THE AREA WITH ONLY POOR POLLS, WHAT WE SEE NOW IS THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE DATA THAT WE CAN CONSULT. THOSE ARE THE EARLY VOTING NUMBERS, WHERE THEY COME FROM IN GEORGIA. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DUNCAN IS PROBABLY BETTER THAN ME AT TELLING YOU WHAT IT MEANS WHEN SOMEONE VOTES IN RICHMOND COUNTY AGAINST FULTON COUNTY OR DEKALB COUNTY, AND CETERA. BUT I THINK WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE LEAVING. I THINK RAPHAEL WARNOCK IS RUNNING THE PITCH PERFECT CAMPAIGN AT THE MOMENT.

AND LET ME SAY THIS ALSO, THIS IS SOMETHING CONTENTIOUS FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT BE CULTURALLY FAMILIAR WITH WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY. BUT THERE IS A GREAT RESENTMENT ON THE PART OF BLACK VOTERS TOWARD HERSCHEL WALKER. THERE ARE MANY BLACK VOTERS YOU TALK TO WHO JUST SAY HE DOESN'T SPEAK OR REPRESENT US AT ALL, BECAUSE OF ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE, BECAUSE OF BEING INARTICULATED, BECAUSE OF NOT UNDERSTANDING BASIC CONCEPTS. AND THEREFORE, WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO REPRESENT US ON THE WORLD STAGE AS A UNITED STATES SENATOR IN WASHINGTON, D.C. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF BLACK VOTERS COMING OUT, AGAIN, IN FAVOR OF RAPHAEL WARNOCK, OVERCOMING THE FATIGUE, AND A LARGE PART OF YOUNG VOTERS COMING OUT IN FAVOR OF RAPHAEL WARNOCK, ALSO OVERCOMING THE FATIGUE.

I WANT TO RETURN TO YOUR DECISION NOT TO VOTE IN THIS SECURITY ELECTION. COULD HERSCHEL WALKER GET YOUR VOTE IN THIS SECURITY? IS THERE SOMETHING I COULD HAVE DONE? OR WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE TO GET YOUR VOTE TODAY? I THINK I'M IN THE SAME PLACE AS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF REPUBLICANS AND MILLIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WE JUST WANT REAL LEADERSHIP TO GUIDE US THROUGH THE DESOLE AND MUD OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THERE IS A COUPLE EASY PIECE OF LOW FRUIT. WHEN NICK FUENTES DID WHAT HE DID WITH DONALD TRUMP AND HAD DINNER, HE PUSHED THAT INSTEAD OF PRESSING THE MUTE BUTTON.

THOSE ARE WAYS TO CONVINCE THE MEDIA THAT YOU ARE NOT DONALD TRUMP'S PUPPET. YOU WANTED TO BE A US SENATOR WHO WANTED TO DO IMPORTANT THINGS AND LEAD USING BIG IDEAS. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. AND THAT'S DISAPPOINTING. AND I THINK A LOT OF FINGER POINTS ARE STARTING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY LIKE A LOCKER ROOM AFTER A COUPLE OF LOST SEASONS OR A COUPLE OF BIG LOSSES. PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO POINT THEIR FINGERS AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A NEW DIRECTION FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHICH WE POINT AS A CATALYST THAT ALLOWED US TO FIND REAL CANDIDATES TO STAND UP AND WIN THESE CASES.

SO, BAKARI, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'RE HEARING FROM THE REPUBLICANS, THE SENATORS WHO ARE GOING TO CAMPAIGN FOR HERSCHEL WALKER IN GEORGIA IS, YOU KNOW, KEEP US AT 50/50. LET'S NOT GIVE THE DEMOCRATS 51 BECAUSE IT HELP US STRENGTHEN THE COMMITTEE. IS THE STRENGTH OF THE COMMITTEE A OUTSTANDING KIND OF CAMPAIGN FOR VOTERS, REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS? WELL, LOOK, I WANT RAPHAEL WARNOCK TO WIN THIS ELECTION, AND MY MOM ALWAYS TOLD ME TO LEAVE HIM ALONE. AND THERE HAS BEEN NO BETTER MESSAGE THAN THAT FROM LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DUNCAN ON WHY RAPHAEL WARNOCK SHOULD PROBABLY BE THE NEXT UNITED STATES SENATOR, HERSCHEL WALKER'S INABILITY TO ACTUALLY SERVE.

LET ME SAY THAT THE FINAL MESSAGE FOR HERSCHEL WALKER IS GOD KNOWS WHAT. He's not ready, he's not ready to be a United States senator. AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE RECOGNIZING IT. YOU ALSO HAVE THE LEVEL OF EXHAUSTION THAT GEORGIA VOTERS HAVE. BUT, YOU KNOW, LET'S ADD THIS UP. WE SEE IT IN THE BALANCE AND THE TOTALITY OF WHAT IT IS. TOMORROW, YOU HAVE BARACK OBAMA, WHO IS, I WOULD SAY, EQUITY THE MOST POPULAR ELECTED OFFICIAL, WHETHER CURRENT OR FORMER ELECTED, IN THE CAMPAIGN PATH CAMPAIGNING FOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK, WHILE YOU HAVE DONALD TRUMP DOING A TELECONFERENCE.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS. A TELE-RALLY FOR HERSCHEL WALKER. AND I THINK THAT REALLY REACHES THE POINT OF IMPULSE. AND RAPHAEL WARNOCK HAS THE DRIVE TO DO THIS. 51/49 FOR DEMOCRATS IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE, AND WE KNOW IT. I THINK PEOPLE KNOW THIS. BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE SAYING, PLEASE GIVE ME 51 VOTES FOR COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS. I THINK GEOFF DUNCAN AND I WOULD AGREE THAT THINGS LIKE INFLATION, IMMIGRATION, CRIME, AND CETERA ARE THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEMS. IT DOESN'T GIVE ME THE NUMBER OF VOTES I NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS FUND ALLOCATION ON THIS.

I THINK WE JUST MADE HISTORY ON CNN WHERE THE PANELISTS DEFERRED THE RESPONSE TO THE OTHER GUEST HERE. GEOFF DUNCAN, BAKARI SELLERS, APPRECIATE IT.
