george has another fantastic champion in senator kelly loeffler. kelly is a staunch defender of our incredible military here i'd so proud of our military. she supports the wall and she always stands with the heroes of law enforcement, ice and border patrol. i hated it, kelly, when we got out in from the military with trump all over it and they got thrown into a river that you solve that. they threw ballots into a river from the military with my name all over, we want trump. goes into the river. that was just one of many instances of problems. kelly is also a committed protector of your second amendment rights. with her votes we confirm our third new supreme court justice, amy coney barrett. working with david, kelly helped rescue the u.s. economy from the china virus, passing nearly $4 trillion in economic relief, saving over 1.5 million georgia jobs and rescuing countless small businesses all across your state, businesses that now are doing really well. we also came up with a vaccine. nobody else would have done that. they would have done that in

kelly loeffler talked about it. dagen: the georgia voters watched -- if you watched tv you saw some of these ads in georgia. >> you saw the ads. let's be clear about what happened here. we just came off a contentious presidential election in the state of georgia an inundated with the senate ads in the primary and in the general and then in a runoff as well. don't pretend as though people didn't turn that off. what they didn't turn off were their local newscasts. what they didn't turn off were the national newscasts. and if the mainstream media refused to cover these issues, it's not just about what they cover, it's about what they don't cover. and it's about how they cover it. and so when those issues don't come to the fore and the people don't get a chance to see exactly what raphael warnock is all about, exactly what john ossoff is all about, no wonder this type of thing culminates in a potential victory for both of those two men. dagen: did president trump's behavior leading up to these runoff elections hurt the

kelly loeffler announced last night that she will object to the election results from the presidential election, challenging president-elect joe biden's victory in some key battleground states. she will join more than 100 house republicans who are demanding congress appoint a commission to look into claims of election fraud. missouri republican josh hawley was the first senator to announce that he would object to the results. last night our man in the middle bret baier questioned hawley on whether this fell in line with the constitution. >> there's a statute that says that governs what congress does on january 6th. it says that we have a vote of certification and that we have the opportunity to debate the results. my point is, this is my only opportunity during this process to raise an objection and to be heard. >> harris: so, bret, along with your word exchange with senator hawley and senator loeffler telling me the goal is not to flip the presidential election, what did you get from hawley? what is their objective in all of this? >> well, that was the question, harris. i was trying t

hours before a rally with kelly loeffler, kelly loeffler decided to join this renegade bunch of senators who are going to object to the electoral counting process tomorrow. didn't seem to help either of them. >> look, ali, even before the election day, republicans were ceding the ground. if we lose, you know why. it's president trump. and that's because president trump spent more time attacking fellow republicans in georgia like governor brian kemp, secretary of state raffensperger than he did the incumbents than he did attacking ossoff and warnock. you saw that in the rally monday night where he spent most of the time expressing his own grievances over his falsehoods over the election defeat and very little time talking about the two incumbents. >> let's talk a little about -- perdue has put out a statement that his team seems to believe he's won the election. we are calling it too close to call right now with ossoff in the lead. but he's immediately talking about legally-cast votes and legal challenges. when you throw it around enough, people begin to believe that there are problems wi

i want to tell you about david purdue and kelly loeffler. they have not conceded. jon ossoff hasn't spoken. raphael warnock did speak from his home. he said tonight that it proved with hope, hard work and people by his side that anything is possible. >> georgians flocked to the polls on tuesday. >> you can't complain if you don't vote. >> two elections that could shift the balance of power. >> god gave us a voice to be heard. >> cbs projects raphael warnock has beaten kelly loeffler thanks to strong support for black and young voters. >> i am going to the senate to work for all georgia. >> it is worth it for this election to last into tomorrow. we are going to make sure every vote is counted. >> the other race between david purdue and democrat jon ossoff is still in the air. most of the remaining balance come from areas that favor democrats. if both democrats win, it gives joe biden a unified congress making his leg slative agenda likely to pass. >> ossoff would become georgia's first jewish senator. warnock would be the first black senator. >> the historic moment

i want to start by getting your reaction to kelly loeffler. tweeting out her statement not long ago saying she too would essential le vote to invalidate the election results in multiple states presumably your state and her state of georgia. your thoughts? >> thanks so much. good to be here with you. listen, this is very disappointing. it's not at all surprising. the one good thing i can say about my opponent is she is consistent. she's consistently putting her own interest above the people she's supposed to be representing. and so, it's quite a development to be sure. but, for weeks we have been calling on loeffler to stand up for the people of georgia. to hon nour the voices of the people she wants to represent. honoring tha honoring their votes. and she's consistently refused to do that. and while this is disappointing it's surprising. georgia needs a senator not a sycophant. they need someone who understands that their job is to represent the people. kelly efrl is the unelected senator of georgia. in just a few hours the people of georgia w

kelly loeffler not as popular. not as popular as david perdue as we said has been elected to the senate. kelly loeffler was appointed by brian kemp. the governor, had never won an election in georgia and that may have hurt her. raphael warnock also fulton county, let me point it out, he is a reverend at ebenezer baptist church, martin luther king sr.'s church. deep roots which are so important. in fulton county raphael warnock got 72.4% of the vote. let me compare it in this case to david perdue to jon ossoff. you can see raphael warnock got 4,000 more votes in fulton county than jon ossoff did so you can see raphael warnock overperforming joe biden in some cases and also jon ossoff who was also running in this election so strong candidacy for him across the country. one other thing that happened yesterday, donald trump came to campaign against both democratic senators. this is the county that he went to. you look at this and say, oh, man, raphael warnock got shellacked. 29% of the vote but it wasn't really a chang

cast a vote to send david perdue and kelly loeffler back to the united states senate. [applause] we've got to have georgia hold the line. will you do it? [cheers and applause] i believe you will. i believe you will, because i have faith. just like all of you. i have faith in the people of this state. the people of this state represent all that is great about this country. family and faith and freedom. i just know that you're going to get out and cast that vote, you'll talk to your neighbors and friends, in every hour that remains between now and when the polls close tomorrow. and tell them what's at stake in this election. the eyes of america are on georgia. people who share our values and our ideals across this country, we are looking to you. we are looking to you, georgia. we are looking to you to hold the line, and i believe with all my heart that you will. lastly, i have that as a kind of, too. the challenging times in which we live, i believe more than ever. and we stand in the need of prayer. [cheers and applause] and i know that millions of americans are joining

so i'm not concerned about kelly loeffler. she can call me whatever she wants. and many of the same names she called me, called my heroes by those names. martin luther king jr. and the folks i got to know right in atlanta who work alongside, vivian, john lewis, andrew young. so i'm going to be focused on the fact that people need health care. they need covid-19 relief. i think it's interesting that kelly loeffler has been in the senate for ten months and she hasn't even bothered to make a case for why the people of georgia should elect her. she was appointed. it's clear the people of georgia are disappointed and she's sounding more and more desperate every day in her rhetoric because she's focused on herself and so here's the clear choice of people in georgia. you can help her to help herself or you can help me to help you. and i'm deeply honored that this kid who grew up in public housing, one of 12 children in my family, is now running for the u.s. senate against the wealthiest number of congress. it means that the american dream and promise is very much alive

>> the both kelly loeffler and senator perdue deserve reelection they're both fine senators. they've done a great job. but i think republicans will understand the gravity of this moment in history and come out to vote along with independents and some democrat of good conscience. the democratic candidates come from the far left of their spectrum. i don't think they're in line with the vast majority of georgia citizens. so i'm looking forward to a win win for republicans in the georgia senate races. it is so important that we keep the united states senate and republican hands. jon: according to a fox news poll taken in early december, more than a third of americans believe that there was fraud in this presidential election and they believe that it was essentially stolen from president trump among all vote rs yo see the number there is 36% believe it was still and trump voters 77% even among democrats 10% say they believe the election was stolen. hence, your push to get the electoral college vote held up until you get this investigation? >> the american people deserve answers. t

kelly loeffler. here is kelly? where is our kelly? what a job you have done. thank you. [chanting] president trump: kelly fights for me, david fights for me, that i can tell you. and i will also say, the republicans, for the people that don't fight, not for me, fighting for us, because we have a lot of corrupt things that happened. when they don't fight, one thing i have learned about republicans, i have some difficulties, but you know a difficulty i don't have -- they don't have? they never forget. they never forget. people will find that out because we have to go, we have to go all the way. that's what's happening. you will watch what happens over the next couple of weeks. watch what's going to come out. watch what's going to be revealed. you watch. cheers and applause] president trump: and i have to tell you that the stakes to this election cannot be higher. you vote tomorrow, you want to go out tomorrow. people want to go out, they don't want to do the ballot thing. they don't want to do it unless it's the other side, in which case they print them out. make sure your

kelly loeffler, she was in a jumbled primary with 20 other voters. two different races in some respects. we'll see how that all plays out. >> president trump was getting out the vote at a rally in your state last night. he said he's going to campaign against your re-election in 2022 because you've been standing up for the truth against his false claims about the election. what's your response to that? >> well, that's a few years out right now and today and for this i guess next coming week our job is to button up the election, get the results out to all the georgians and make sure we can certify this race. that's my focus now, not what happens two years from now. >> okay. i want to ask you about your phone call on saturday with president trump. take a listen to what he told you in part. >> you can't let it happen and you are letting it happen. you know, i mean, i'm notifying you that you're letting it happen. so all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. >> when you heard him s

senator kelly loeffler announcing she will object to certain electoral college results. a source telling fox news that loeffl or will likely object to

kelly loeffler and david perdue are standing in the way of a radical far left agenda that would actively work to strip away pretty much all of president trump's historic achievement. tonight's two races could not be any more important. as we speak, all eyes are on dekalb, fulton county, which were wrought with claims of fraud and abuse during the general election. democrats, we've been saying in the leadup to tonight, need a massive turnout in those two counties to win. seems like we're counting fulton county faster than we did on november 3rd. democrats counting on big numbers of mail in ballots, apparently a lot have already been counted. little hard to sort through it all and marred with issues

kelly loeffler. >> [cheers and applause]. >> where is kelly? >> [cheers and applause]. >> what a job you have done. i will tell you about kelly. >> [chanting]. >> kelly fights for me and david fights for me. that i can tell you. i will also say the republicans you have to understand for the people that don't fight. fighting for us. we have a lot of corrupt things that happen. republicans have some difficulties. but a difficulty they don't have? they never forget. people will find that out. we have to go all the way. that's what is happening. you watch what happened over the next couple of weeks. watch what is going to come out. watch what is going to be revealed. >> [cheers and applause]. >> i have to tell you the stakes of this election could not be higher. you vote tomorrow. people want to go out. they don't want to do the ballot thing unless it's the other side. they want to go and vote. make sure your vote is counted. don't let them say i'm sorry someone else voted for you. the radical democrats are trying to capture georgia senate seats so

where does that leave kelly loeffler? >> he's the really in a bind here. part of it is needing to signal as strongly as she can that she's supportive of the president, her name clearly missing from the letter the republicans put out, so saying everything is on the table, we'll have to see about that and see if she weighs in before the election happens. but we have president trump out there who's saying that the election was invalid, as others have noted, and now saying that these two senators who advance, who are up again, and trying to rally republicans to turn out. we know that the thing about the republican party and particularly in this georgia race, they're counting on a big election day turnout. and i think the problem for loeffler and for perdue is that they need to be as supportive as they can of the president. but he's at the same time throwing wrenches in there, of course, blaming republican leadership for coming out and not supporting the $2,000 checks, coming out and blasting the republican governor of georgia, coming out and calling on a prima

loeffler and her democratic challenger rafael warnock. watch beginning in a p.m. eastern on c-span, c-span .org or listen on the c-span radio app. >> montana governor delivered his inaugural address where he talked about the coronavirus pandemic physical response ability and the economy. this runs about 15 minutes. >> please, raise your right ha hand. repeat after me. i do solemnly swear. >> do solemnly swear. >> that i will support. >> that i will support. >> protect. >> protect. >> to vent. >> and defend. >> the constitution of the united states. >> constitution of the united states. >> and the constitution of the state of montana. >> and the constitution of the state of montana. >> and that i will discharge the duties of my office. >> and i will discharge the duties of my office. >> with fidelity. >> with fidelity. >> so how we got. >> so help me god. >> congratulations. >> thank you. [applause] >> thank you for being here today. to my wife susan are two sons that are here, our daughter and our entire family it was your love and encour

reporter: connell, republicans on the ticket, kelly loeffler and david perdue are trying to make the arguments that democrats running for their seats, jon ossoff and rafael warnock are going to race your taxes. that is the argument coming from republicans but today we heard jon ossoff at a canvas event kicking it off encouraging his volunteers and supporters to get out, turn out the vote, telling them if they elect him to these seats, they're going to be of the ones that put that $2000 check in people's bank accounts for covid relief. >> they will try to block joe and kamala's every move just like they tried to do to president obama. we have too much good work to do. we need to get $2000 stimulus checks to the people to keep families on their feet and in their homes. we need the pass a historic jobs bill. reporter: but republicans loeffler and perdue make the argument that biden's agenda will cost americans but especially people in georgia. the committee to unleash prosperity said this about biden's economic plans, quote, we estimate over the next decade these policies will coast the

here's senator kelly loeffler. >> we need georgians to get o

he has a little bit of wind to his back compared to kelly loeffler. i know it is tight. >> will check back with you again later in the hour. stick with us, stand by. we have just learned that raphael warnock has unseated senator kelly loeffler. meanwhile president trump is not giving up his fight with the presidential election. did a leak phone call days before the georgia runoff end up turning off some republican voters? we are going to debate that ne next. >> fox news election alert, the fox news projection desk predicts raphael warnock will unseat republican senator kelly loeffler giving fox news a 49 senate seat and keeping alive democratic hopes of taking control of the chamber provided that warnock democratic colleague john also defeats republican david purdue. that race not decided yet. it is still too close to call. let's go back to our panel. sean duffy. there is been something of a circular firing squad among republicans in georgia lately. president trump even calling on governor kemp to leave office, to be removed from office. all that crit

both of these candidates, david perdue and kelly loeffler are building estate of the art get out the vote organization using lots of georgians and plenty of volunteers coming in from outside the state. finally the argument there that senator perdue laid out. the only way to rein in the excesses of the democratic whit house and the democratic house of representatives is to have a republican senate he put it right, this is the last line of defense for conservative values that we don't control. never republican majority in th u.s. senate and they're going t have as you said it clear piles to this nutty agenda, get rid o the 60 vote rule and pass every and lock in a governing democratic left majority from decades to come. >> to things. you have to give stacy abrams credit. she's built up a powerful mail in ballot force for the democrats. are the republicans ready to match that, number one. now it too, how are george is going to reacts we just found 6,000 ballots this week. and the mess that has been created down there. i think a lot of them are probably ticked off. do they feel disenfran

loeffler. the reverend from atlanta leads loeffler by a thin margin but it's enough to call this race. again, warnock the presumed winner. about 45 minutes ago warnock says he's proud to be georgia's first black senator. >> i am going to the senate to work for all of georgia. no matter who you cast your voted for in this election. >> we're going to win this election. we're going to save this country. >> senator loeffler there remains optimistic but again nbc news now calling that race that warnock is the winner. the other race, here are the latest numbers, also razor thin. democrat jon ossoff is trying to unseat republican david perdue. they are virtually tied. you can see that 50% for both candidates with 98% of the vote in. and also just a few minutes ago ossoff took a slight lead, this was according to nbc news. now, the democrats feel they are on the verge of sweeping both of those runoff elections in georgia. if they do sweep, the democrats would control the senate and the house. so what h

loeffler and kelly perdue did. on taking on warnock, he's a baptist preacher, he's give speeches for a living his entire balife. he is sort of passing and i think he was sort of trapped because as you pointed out, he really is radical. he was pretty hard to disown 20 or 25 years of radicalism in the debate. but i thought she did a very nice job of just sticking to it. this is the most radical candidate ever nominated by it so i think is going to be an extraordinarily important election. i think the odds are very high my motto is very simple. we have to win by a bigger margin than stacy abrams can steal. that's flat out the reality we are dealing with. >> if you watch, it was loud and it was clear. one of the ways that they can do it, the governor says yes, we need real signature verification checking. i'm like okay, we'll fix it, but if you have the ability to call into session the legislature, he steadfastly refuses, now it's angry republican switch week can't have them angry going into this runoff election knowin

bottom line, kelly loeffler has been campaigning with a klansman kelly loeffler has been campaigning with a klansman and so she is stooping to these vicious personal attacks to distract from the fact that she has been campaigning with a former member of the ku klux klan. will: that is a stunning claim. is it true? here to react army veteran and georgia native jeremy hunt. jeremy, that is a stunning claim made multiple times there obviously to peter doocy. one john jon ossoff has made may times on the campaign trail that kelly loeffler is campaigning with a klansman. as far as i can tell, jeremy. what it is is a picture no idea nothing more. >> yeah, i mean, this should be a really simple story. but, you know, it's politics. this is jon ossoff playing politics. she was not campaigning with a klansman. basically a crazy man made his way toll a loeffler event asked for a picture. she takes a ton of pictures every day. she takes a picture and upon realizing who he is, she said if i had known i would have kicked him out of the event. i had no idea. she completely condemned him. this shoul

kelly loeffler on the streets sandy springs, georgia. for a long time said the unincorporated sand asprings north of the city of atlanta. a lot of blue votes for the democrats come from that part of the state. back to the "new york post." headline i showed you. here is what they say. georgia's duty stop the far left from dominating congress. advance it one time. regulation will increase, a job-killing green new deal becomes a real possibility. court packing and socialized medicine to say nothing of the way united democratic front will impose identity politics of the nation and cancel offenders any way they can. >> absolutely. first they are correct. look at the people. you have a bernie sanders socialist in charge of the budget committee. who controlled the judiciary, across each gavel you go from someone who is america first to someone who has a very different perspective. then you look at the overarching things they would want to change from packing the court. getting rid of the filibuster, adding states. things that are significant st
