ATLANTA (AP) — Republican Herschel Walker’s $6.2 million in fundraising looked impressive when unveiled Wednesday, until Democrat Raphael Warnock rolled out his $17.2 million total a half-hour later.
The dueling Senate campaign numbers underlined two truths. Georgia is again going to be one of the most expensive races to run for office in 2022, and Democrats are building a strong fundraising advantage.
Like Warnock, Democrat Stacey Abrams heavily outraised incumbent Republican Brian Kemp in the race for governor, collecting almost $50 million compared to the $31 million Kemp has brought in over a longer period. Abrams and Warnock plan to run closely linked campaigns, echoing many of the same themes.
Warnock is one of several Democratic Senate incumbents in swing states who is trying to cling to their seat amid President Joe Biden’s deep unpopularity. Republicans had long dominated statewide races until Georgia helped elect Biden to the presidency and enabled Democrats to control the Senate by electing Warnock and fellow Democrat Jon Ossoff in a January 2021 runoff.

Just pay Dominion.
Mostly out of state money. Never as helpful.
It’s not about money for me. I don’t care how much that Preacher Pimp has collected. I am voting for Herschel and will be proud to do so! And I tell everyone I know to do the same.
I can’t understand why Warnuts supporters are too po’ to get a voter I.D. and then get to the polls to vote but CAN throw millions at him like he’s some kind of freaky GoFundMe webpage. Somebody’s BSing.
Remember when the Democrats used to pretend to be the party of the poor and union guys? Those were good times.
The Bush League in Georgia are going to reap what they have sewn.
Most of that crap would come to a screeching halt if we could rescind the 17th. Move the power back to the states.!!
Because his supporters can’t GET a Georgia STATE ID. That’s why. they are OUT OF STATE. They are counting on SoS Raffensperger to let their absentee ballots pass.
Yeah. I want my lunatic legislature reappointing Jeff Flake for life and I get to vote for even less. Great idea.
Kemp must lose for supporting Biden’s stolen election.
Do not support Kemp. Do not vote for Kemp.
Throw him out.
End his career.
Satanic Warlock has no lack of evil money to bankroll his evil agenda.
You are insane. You want his opponent to win.
This race is essential to holding control of the Senate.
Herschel (I love that name thanks to “Holy Moses”) needs to stop shooting himself in the foot, but it is relatively early in the campaign.
Stacy Abrams would be far worse.
Georgia might be the next Virginia here. Too early to tell though. It was supposed to happen to Florida and North Carolina. But we all know that Florida is pretty red and North Carolina is still barely red (after all those years).
The problem is, this out-of-state money will be dedicated to greasing and funding the Fraud Machine that is still in place, that Stacy Abrams put together for 2020.
I don’t understand what the heck is going on in Georgia. Wasn’t GA a solid Red state not very long ago?? I know Atlanta is Blue, but I don’t believe all of Georgia is a Blue state.
People moving from blue states and a large AA population.
