and Reverend Raphael Warnock showed
the stark difference between Republicans
and Democrats in this election.

There are two visions for our country.
Mine, the American dream.
My opponent, socialism,
Chuck Schumer said it best.
Now we take Georgia,then we change America.
- There are those who engagedin the politics of division.
They have no vision and sothey engage in division.
Health care is on the ballot.
Workers are on the ballot.
Voting rights is on the ballot.
- {Dale] Leffler repeatedlycalled her opponent
radical liberal Raphael Warnock
and hammered him for past statements.
- He has called on Americans to repent
for their worship of whiteness.
He's celebrated JeremiahWright, anti-Semite.
He's actually calledIsrael an apartheid state.
- [Dale] Warnock said hecared about ordinary people
and attacked Lefflerfor being out of touch,
going after her voting record.
- I want to point out thatKelly Leffler actually voted
to defund the police.
She voted against the cops program.
She was one of only 10 UnitedStates senators who did.
- I've never voted to defund the police.
- [Dale] One of their many key differences
was over abortion.
- I'm not going to be lectured
by someone that uses theBible to justify abortion.
- I have a profound reverence for life,
and I happen to think that apatient's room is too small,
a place for a woman, herdoctor, and the US government.
- [Dale] And when askedwhether he favored packing
the Supreme Court, Warnock said.
- I'm really not focused on it.
- He would pack the Supreme Court.
- [Dale] In the other Senate race,
democratic challenger John Ossoff debated
an empty podium Sunday,hammering Senator David Perdue
as arrogant for skipping their debate.
A recent poll shows Ossoffessentially tied with Perdue
and Leffler barely leading Warnock.
Over the weekend President Trump rallied
for the Georgia RepublicanSenate candidates
and called on the state'sRepublican governor,
Brian Kemp, to order a special session
over what many Republicansbelieve was election fraud.
- The governor could stop it very easily
if he knew what the hell he was doing.
Could stop it very easily.
- Sunday night, Kemp released
a statement declaring thatholding a special session
in order to select a separate slate
of presidential electors is not an option
that is allowed understate or federal law,
but constitutional expertAlan Dershowitz said Sunday,
the Supreme Court may be asked
to decide whether state legislators
can choose electoral college voters
after the presidential election.
And he says the Constitutiongives state lawmakers
that power.
The president's legalchallenges will now have
to continue temporarilywithout Rudy Giuliani
after he tested positive for COVID-19.
Meanwhile, Trump's legalteam is celebrating
a judge's order in Michigan,
allowing them to probe nearly
two dozen Dominion votingmachines in Antrim County
for signs of election fraud.
