Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), who holds a slim lead over the previous College of Georgia and NFL soccer star with simply days to go till the runoff election — the ultimate Senate race but to be decided within the 2022 midterm cycle.
“Because the final time I used to be right here Mr. Walker has been speaking about points which are of nice significance to the folks of Georgia. Like whether or not it’s higher to be a vampire or a werewolf,” Obama informed the 1000's of Warnock supporters on the marketing campaign rally.
