almost a dozen people in the state of georgia, 8000 people in the state of georgia. we all know them. this has been a tragedy of immeasurable proportion. it is easy to look back at the question, but one of the things we have to recognize in this virus is the earlier responsibility. china was responsible for this, and we have learned a lot about the virus, who is most vulnerable, what we need to do to protect them. what we have to do is hold china accountable. jon ossoff will not be the one to do this. in the last two years, he has been working for a company owned by the communist chinese government, and in the last debate, he denied that. the question tonight is moving forward, instead of looking back, we have got to get a vaccine, accelerate it, and we have done this. we put money behind this accelerating treatment regimens and get the money back into the state. democrats are blocking the aid we want to bring back to the state in addition to what we have already done. moderator: you were named in that jon ossoff so you get a rebuttal. mr. ossoff: how about taking pe

senate as a feddup citizen of georgia and for the fed-up citizens of georgia. i'm asking for your vote because this is our seat and i will be our senator. thank you. >> thank you. ed tarver, you may go next. >> thank you, scott. this has been quite an experience. i think we've gotten a chance to see why many believe that our government in washington is a polarized as many as ever seen, why many believe it's broken and divided and people have forgotten about the simple commitment to represent georgians and not representing political parties. my campaign for the u.s. senate is based upon my demonstrated commitment to public service and my experience dating back to the time in the u.s. military, extending all the way through my service as part of the obama administration as a united states attorney for south georgia. i believe this is the most consequential election of my lifetime. i will continue to support law enforcement to keep our community safe. i will continue to fight against systemic racial and religious discrimination and continue to be a voice. i would

georgia has become a must-watch state. while it has lg been considered a republican strongho, like many other parts of the country, it has become a shifting battleground. a lot of people are wondering -- and feel free to toss a coin -- will georgia turn blue? katty: i guess the question will be when will georgia turn blue. we've been talking about if the polls are wrong and if trump can still win this election, but there's another scenario, and that is a massive repudiation of trump's presidency that sweeps democrats into offices across the country. not saying it's going to happen, but with polls as tight as they are, it's a possibility strategists from both sides are talking about. if biden wins georgia, state democrats will embrace the hard-fought victory. >> it's got to happen. if not now, then when? we got to change this country. people are tired. >> i think the historic nature of this ticket is bringing in a lot of people. and george it is no longer just a black/white state. this is an extraordinarily verse state. >>

i love georgia. i love being with you. this is georgia, this is macon, georgia. we won macon, georgia, we are going to win it again. it's great to be back. and just remember, early voting is under way. get out and vote, go out and vote! donald trump of course in pennsylvania today. vernonjones is democratic state representative for georgia, who has thrown his support behind donald trump. vernon, thank you very much for joining us. i guess i don't even need to ask you why you are supporting donald trump, it is written up on the wall behind you you believe. that's a clear example lam voting you believe. that's a clear example i am voting for donald trump. democrats have failed african americans over the past 50 or 60 years, but every group before them including illegals and so blacks have been a captive audience and just like joe biden said if you are not ready for him you are not black. that shows you the bigotry in the democratic party, but this is about results. he has done more for african—americans in the 47 months then the democratic party has in the past t

connell: they were aggressive with georgia. ginger will be part of our prime time coverage with neil cavuto. >> excited about that. connell: other side of things also from a business perspective, we welcome hugh atchison back to the show. he is from cooking shows. restaurant owner and chef. i guess he has number of restaurants here in georgia, right. you're on today, hugh, because you're also a biden supporter and that is an interesting business perspective to follow up on what ginger is saying. so what is your take on this? because when we talk to business people, many of them say well the president's policies as you heard moments ago are more quote, unquote business-friendly. how do you look at things? >> yeah. i think there have been very many successful democrat business people in history. i think that as a business owner i haven't really soon the effects of this economy on the massive up swing. i'm not a corporate ceo. i'm a small business person and, the ravages of the pandemic have really taken an economic toll. the rest

here toht $47 million georgia. another $50 billion for a ppp program that saved 1.5 million jobs in this state and get jon ossoff opposed the bbb program and still does. he would have voted against that. in the united states senate, we have bills waiting to go on the floor that the democrats are blocking that would bring more aid. months forouple of immediate helps for the smallest companies at that average 103,000 dollars per loan in the state and only 10 employees. these are people that would have lost their businesses to be saved 1.5 million jobs. she would have voted against it because he is nothing but a rubber stamp for chuck schumer. does it all the time. he is saying things that will disguise his radical socialist agenda. moderator: mr. ossoff. mr. ossoff: it is nonsense. i have been advocating for months for renewal of the program, which senator perdue allowed to expire in august. listen to his answers. it is always the other party's fault, somebody else's phone. no sense of personal responsibility. let's

without any real influence on the day-to-day lives here in georgia. what i would've done is make sure our governor understood that he doesn't have the right to block us from assembly. he does not have the right force of coercion, police and sheriffs to make sure we are assembling. what we should have done is said to a bag with the risk on your own and go out there and do what you need to do to make your family essentially have food and clothing, and leave everybody alone. we don't think, good ideas don't require force. that is how -- our rights in america. thank you for the question. >> thank you very much. jon ossoff, please ask -- >> hey, donna, i think i get rebuttal. >> senator perdue, go ahead, 30-second. >> shane, i agree 100% with the concept of limited government. i do think in this situation though it was an unprecedented pandemic that required health for people to survive the pandemic. we brought $47 billion to the state of georgia to try to help our hospitals, schools, communities and our small businesses. we did the ppp program the state 1

as well as georgia right to life. i am the one, if you want to send somebody to washington, d.c., vote for me. my question will be to senator kelly loeffler. -- youays talk about don't talk about the real problem, the communist chinese party. putting a target on their back. are you going to apologize to my children or are you just going to be a typical politician and just answer neither here nor there. sen. loeffler: thank you for your question. i have deep respect for your adoption of children. i believe strongly in adoption and foster care, so thank you for that. , we have to hold the chinese communist party accountable. i want to bring innovation back to north america. but let me be clear. i will not be a shill for china. china brought this virus to the country. they made the who complicit and it spread around the world. they have stolen our intellectual property. they have spied on us. and just like president trump said, we will hold them accountable. we have to find ways to address china's growth in this world. ,

georgia has become a must-watch state. while it hasg been considered a republican strongho, like many other parts of the country, it has become a shifting battleground. a lot of people are wondering -- and feel free to toss a coin -- will georgia turn blue? katty: i guess the question will be when will georgia turn blue. we've been talking about if the polls are wrong and if trump can still win this election, but there's another scenario, and thats a massive repudiation of trump's presidency that sweeps democrats into offices across the country. not saying it's going to happen, but th polls as tight as they are, it's a possibility strategists from both sides are talking about. if biden wins georgia, state democrats will embrace the hard-fought victory. >> it's got to happen. if not now, then when? we got to change this country. people are tired. >> i think the historic nature of this ticket is bringing in a lot of people. and george it is no longer just a black/white state. this is an extraordinarily verse state. >> i'm fe

that includes both seats in georgia. senator kamala harris made note of that while campaigning in atlanta on friday. >> that brings me to georgia. you have to send them to the united states senate. send them to the united states senate. let them represent georgia. on all these issues. it is critically important. those senate seats, those are six year terms. think about your plans -- >> joinings now democratic candidate. he is running to unseat republican senator david per due. good evening. >> good evening. >> they thought it was stacey abrams year for the governor mansion. kemp pulled it off. he's the governor. why is this year the year for democrats to take one or both seats in the senate? >> this is really the culmination of the decade of work in georgia. much of the it led by stacey abrams. recall that she lost the governor race in 2018 running against ts man who over saw the election. by just 50,000 votes. we have added more than 800,000 voters to the rolls since then in two years. the new electorate and younger and

georgia. they are saying the very same thing trump is saying. i don't know who is mirroring who. there's a widespread belief in the republican party that joe biden is affiliated with a pedophile ring. and all of the things that most of the democratic party and i would say the educated public that reads mainstream institutions believed in terms of facts and figures. there's a repudiation of the reality in the republican party. we can ask why ben sass is doing what he's doing. and lindsey graham. and they haven't spoken out earlier and shown the sort of shred of remaining backbone they have. the fundamental truth is stuff is really popular. trump may not be president in 2021. trumpism and the poison of misinformation is very much part of the republican dna at this point. until and unless there's a wholesale repudiation from the top of the party to the grass roots that is the republican branch. brand. >> it lives the question. is there a future for the republican party in that sense? does it shri

in 2016, we saw black turnout in rural georgia go down. one of my favorite bellwethers in the state is peach county. it is outside macon. it's home to the bluebird bus corporation. it happens to be the best bellwether because in 2012, when black turnout was 73% in the county, barack obama managed to carry it. when black turnout fell to 54%, donald trump carried it. the question is can kamala harris's addition to the ticket , can the increased enthusiasm about voting this year raise , turnout in rural georgia to the point where democrats can win it statewide? are lower turnout affairs so if one or both of these races go to a january runoff, what does lower turnout -- who benefits from lower turnout? guest: most likely republicans. that has been the pattern in georgia for a number of years. democrats probably have the better opportunity to win outright in the perdue seat because we know the other seat is essentially a jungle primary on the november 3 ballot that's guaranteed to go to a runoff. once you get to a runoff scenario, it could actu

mike, warm springs, georgia. i'll tell you. it was fascinating. i asked this to kate bedingfield on sunday. the last week of the campaign, four years ago, the clinton campaign said, hey, we're going to expand the map to georgia and arizona. and the biden campaign has said they're not going to get ahead of themselves and yet they're in georgia. they must really feel confident about georgia. >> yeah, chuck. first things first. you remember the day that the clinton campaign announced four years ago they were going to go to arizona, send the candidate there? it was the day of the comey letter. obviously, everything changed from that day forward. if you look back to may when the biden campaign first laid out their vision of the general election battleground map, they had 17 states on it. actually 15 states and two congressional districts. and where did we see today they announced their closing television ads, 60-second spots were going to go on the air. 17 states. it's pretty significant, chuck. typically when you shrink a battleground, the biden campa

peggy from talk to georgia on the democratic line. is a different city in georgia. in 2016.epublican after, i realized i made a mistake. asm now supporting joe biden well as our democratic senators. the republican party lost me completely. they take allegiance to trump instead of truly being a republican. i am coming down on the democratic side this time. host: let's talk about georgia. see whether there will be a runoff? if there is a runoff, how long will it take for us to find out who won the runoff? i willthe first thing say, of these two georgia senate races, it is almost certain at least one of them will go to a runoff. this is a special election that resigned lasthe year. he was replaced. by governor brian kemp in georgia. ther n

they've nothing but disdain for you and the values of georgia, i know georgia very well. they flood your communities with criminal aliens, drugs, crime while leaving behind and you see what they do -- they live in gated communities, they complain about guns and complain about everything and they want to end your second amendment but they want protection for themselves. they oppose school choice while sending their families to the best private schools. we need school choice, by the way. they demonize -- you see this, hello, look how beautiful. so beautiful. they demonize our great police and law enforcement while hiring private security for themselves. they attacked the second amendment every single day while employing armed guards and let me tell you, i am the only thing standing in the way of you and your second amendme second amendment, it's under siege. it's a big deal. they support crippling lockdowns, it's time we sent a message to these wealthy liberal hypocrites -- just like i said before, i know these guys, i can call them all. do me a favor, send me $5 million, i

look at georgia. i want to show you this senate race in georgia. there are two of them. but this senate race between david perdue and jon ossoff, it is a margin of error race. just tonight we have learned that david perdue, the incumbent, has pulled out of the final debate scheduled for sunday. he said he would show up with donald trump and welcome him to georgia at donald trump's planned campaign rally on sunday in the final 48 hours of this campaign. that's where david perdue would rather be than on the debate stage with jon ossoff. this is a race where this incumbent is really trying to hug the president now to get every last trump-supporting, republican-supporting vote possible, because he is in a real race for his job. >> the battle for the u.s. senate is going to be really, really critical. david chalian, thank you very, very much. >>> coming up, do democrats believe they can turn georgia blue? i'll speak to the mayor of atlanta, keisha lance bottoms about the presidential battle in her state. >>> and covid hospitalizations have more than doubled in one hot spot in

such competitive senate races in georgia but we do. something's happening here in georgia and across america. >> i want to talk about the significance of what he says when it comes to the senate races there. and also in south carolina. and the obama effect. where he took the stage in florida. and crucial to both sides. >> more than 225,000 people in this country are dead. more than 100,000 small businesses have closed. half a million jobs are gone in florida alone. think about that. what's his closing argument? that people are too focused on covid. he said this at one of his rallies. covid, covid, covid. he's complaining. he's jealous of covid's media coverage. if he had been focused on covid from the beginning, cases would not be reaching new record highs across the country this week. >> president trump meantime taking stops in michigan, wisconsin and later in omaha, nebraska whose single vote went to president obama in 2008. that too speaks to his campaign in the final week of the race. their expect it to be close. beyond the map, ev

the organization goes by gla here in the state of georgia. i don't appreciate the insinuation you are making. the issue of life, it's no secret that i'm pro-life. yes, i helped the organization with business strategies but that is an emotional and personal issue for everyone and that different opinion. i would submit to the people of the sixth district the only person with an extreme view on abortion, and luc lucy you voted multiple times to deny lifesaving medical care to a baby born alive. it's really disgraceful and inhumane and i would like to think that we could all agree that would be something that we could support. >> voters cannot trust you to stand up for a woman's right to choose. in congress you voted to jail doctors who perform abortions and defended the most extreme abortion ban in the entire country which would expose women to life in prison or even the death penalty. to hide from this radical organization you cannot be trusted to fight for women and i will continue to oppose any ability you would put forth to prevent a woman f

would have guessed that the democratic of 2020 would be campaigning in georgia georgia on the final week of election. such competitive senate races in georgia but we do. something's happening here in georgia and across america. >> i want to talk about the significance of what he says when it comes to the races there. and the obama effect. the former president taking aim on president trump. >> more than 225,000 people in this country are dead. more than 100,000 small businesses have closed. half a million jobs are gone in florida alone. think about that. what's his closing argument? that people are too focused on covid. he said this at one of his rallies. covid, covid, covid. he's complaining. he's jealous of covid's media coverage. if he had been focused on covid from the beginning, cases would not be reaching new record highs across the country this week. >> president trump meantime taking stops many michigan, wisconsin and later in omaha, nebraska whose single vote went to president obama in 2008. beyond the map, everything else, there are factor that makes this the only election

i was born in georgia. i think that the atlanta area people will realize it looks like los angeles now. it's one of the most energetic diverse places that people really get along with each other. and these democrats down there, they are really, really working hard. i am very, very optimistic of our georgia. i don't see anything in the early vote that gives me much pause for concern. and the republicans will get their vote out, but georgia is changing state. georgia is representative of a new america and i think in a good way. and i'm really optimistic about it, brian. i really am. >> mike murphy if you had your drugters would biden move to florida for the next couple of days and have his mail forwarded or are you content with where their schedule is? >> i think they're doing it right. the traditional republican sun belt firewall is burning down quickly. i mean, biden is totally playing on trump republican turf now on offense. i agree with james if they've got a real chance to grab georgia, same thing in flo

today, the democratic candidate for president, joe biden, was in the state of georgia, georgia, seven days before the election. now, joe biden can easily win the election and the electoral college without winning the state of georgia. there are four or five more favorable states that could put him over the top. in fact, a democrat hasn't won georgia since all the way back in 1992 when clinton carried it. trump won it by five points last time. if trump were winning this race right now georgia wouldn't be contested. that's just the truth. but it is. a poll out from "the atlanta-journal constitution" showed it to be extremely tie. listen to biden at his drive-in rally today. >> there aren't a lot of pundits who would have guessed four years ago that a democratic candidate for president in 2020 would be campaigning in georgia on the final week of the election. or that we'd have such competitive senate races in georgia. but we do. because something's happening here in georgia and across america. >> georgia's not the only state that could upend expectations. later this week kamala harris is

jessica dean in georgia, thank you so much. get more on all of this with abby phillip is with us and gloria borger. the president taking his closing message to wisconsin, nebraska, and michigan. three states he won in 2016 so what does that tell you about him spending time in these states during the final week of the campaign? >> he is playing defense as you pointed out before. no other way to look at it. the president and his team understand that he has got to win the states that he won in 2016, period, end of sentence, ends of campaign. so he is going back there because they believe that there are enough republican voters there that they can make sure they get to the polls who haven't voted early who can get out and vote for him. a candidate is broadening his outlook and not taking blue tier for grand wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan. you saw him in a state a democrat has not won since 1992 in georgia. a couple of senate races there. he is going to iowa. of course, he is going to florida which they know is tight. very import

the organization goes by gla in the state of georgia. i don't appreciate the insinuation you are making. the issue of life is no secret i am pro-life. i helped that organization with business strategy. that is an emotional issue for everyone with different opinions. i would submit to the people of the sixth district, you have voted multiple times to deny life-saving medical care to a baby born alive. it is disgraceful and inhumane. i would like to think we can all agree that would be something we could support. >>moderator: miss mcbath. >>mcbath: voters cannot trust you to stand up for a woman's right to choose. in congress you voted to jail doctors who perform abortions and even defend of the most extreme abortion ban in the entire country which would impose life in prison or the death penalty. you tried to hide your involvement in this radical organization if you can't be trusted to fight for women in our community. i will continue to oppose any ability you might put forth that would prevent a woman from being able to exercise her righ

meanwhile, georgia voters will also be casting ballots in a special election for georgia's other senate seat which was held by republican senator johnny isakson, who retired last year. 20 candidates are on the ballot, including eight democrats and six republicans. the front runners are incumbent republican senator kelly loeffler, the millionaire republican donor who was appointed earlier this year to temporarily fill the seat, republican doug collins and democrat reverend rafael warnock, senior pastor of the historic ebenezer baptist church, the former church of the reverend dr. martin luther king, jr. in georgia, senate races go to runoffs if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. it is possible both georgia races could go to runoffs in january and could be the deciding factor in who controls the senate. to talk all about the races in georgia and more, we go to atlanta to speak with emory professor carol anderson. author of many books, including "one person, no vote: how voter suppression is destroying our democracy." you have joe biden in the last days of this race very unus

one point ahead of the republican senator david purdue in georgia and in the other georgia senate race, the current pastor of martin luther king jr.'s church, the ebenezer baptist church, is running ahead in a very crowded field of 20 candidates which will probably trigger the need for a run-off election in january because georgia law requires senate candidates to win at least 50% of the vote. the same poll that shows reverend warnock running first in the georgia senate election shows joe biden one point ahead of donald trump in georgia. donald trump won georgia in 2016 by five points today joe biden endorsed both senate candidates in georgia reverend warnock and ossoff. he's cal pain tomorrow with two stops in atlanta and warm springs. reverend raphael warnock will join us next. warnock will join us next this administration and senate republicans want to overturn laws requiring insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions. they're rushing a lifetime appointment to the supreme court to change the law through the courts. 70% of americans want to keep protections for
