A new poll shows the December Georgia Senate runoff election leaning in favor of incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock:

If Georgia Republicans had nominated almost any candidate other than Herschel Walker, they probably would have defeated Warnock on November 8. But they rallied in the primary behind a Trump-backed celebrity, who ran nine points behind Republican governor Brian Kemp. If Warnock prevails in December, Republicans across the country should remember it didn’t have to end this way.
