GA-SEN: Barack Obama campaigns for U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock in front of a crowd of 5,000.

Former President Barack Obama joined U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock for a rally at Pullman Yards in Atlanta on Dec.1, 2022, just days ahead of the Dec. 6 runoff.

In front of a crowd of about 5,000 people on Thursday night, Obama reminded voters their support for Warnock would still have a big impact in Washington.

“Some folks are asking, 'Well, if Democrats are to have control of the Senate, why? Why does this matter? What's the difference between 50 and 51?'” Obama said. ”The answer is a lot."

Personally, not like being struck, that's a good thing.

Those who show up at that event ... Unlikely voters? Voters in need of motivation?

No. They'd vote. To a mammal.

You excite those already excited, what do you get? The excited.

It indicates what was, perhaps what is, not what will be.
