GA-SEN 2022 Megathread: Werewolves and Vampires

Warnock broke the color barrier, it's gonna be hard to dispatch him from office from GA.

I hope he serves along with future Senator Mfume who is the heir apparent should DC become a State should Ds net gain seats

If this was a Prez and we had Biden, Kenyatta would be an excellent idea, but we need Fetterman. Blue collar roots can help is in other races

Why do you think Mfume, a Baltimore politician who currently represents them in congress, would be a senator for DC?

The bot keeps declaring this in many threads. I don't think the user realizes that Baltimore and D.C. are different cities. Though they have similar shapes. So perhaps that's it.

According to football player Herschel Walker, there should be a total ban on abortion, with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the health of the mother; "I've seen some people, they've had some tough times, but I always said, 'No matter what, tough times make tough people.'"

Yes, just tough out that that ectopic pregnancy, women of Georgia. It will build character!

Walker was already a scandal-plagued candidate (as was Warnock, FWIW.)

Personal use of campaign funds and allegations of domestic violence.  Both Warnock and Walker have the "scandal" tag in FiveThirtyEight's model. 

Interestingly enough, the abortion drama with Walker wouldn't be enough to meet 538's threshold on its own (since there's nothing illegal about paying for your girlfriend's abortion.) 

The cited so-called "scandal" involving Warnock is extremely tenuous, and even the disingenuous Politico article just says that there are "questions" re his use of campaign funds to defend him in a lawsuit. It's likely that people wouldn't file frivolous lawsuits against him if he were just a private citizen, so Warnock's argument that it's a legitimate use of campaign funds seems valid. And anyhow, in total the so-called questions surround the use of $1,183. I cannot fathom a less interesting or smaller "scandal."

His ex-wife's allegation of one specific instance of violence also was determined by police to be without merit.
