Beau says:
Warnock's win in Georgia shows the Democratic Party's need to mobilize and retain unlikely voters, while the Republican Party faces repercussions for not relying on data.

Analysis of the potential long-term implications of voter turnout trends and the importance of data-driven decision-making in politics.

Well, howdy there, Internet people. It's Beau again. So today we are going to talk about Georgia
and the results and what happened. Warnock won. Warnock won. But the Democratic Party
should not be celebrating. Not too much, anyway. At time of filming, 98% reporting,
he won by 2.6 points. Up by 2.6, which is exactly what the polls said he was going to win by.
What that means is that the unlikely voter, the voters who stopped the red wave during the midterms,
they didn't show up. Not in the same numbers. Not in the same numbers. He was projected to win by
2 to 3 points. He won by 2.6. They didn't show up today. So what does that mean? It means that
the enthusiasm that was harnessed during the midterms, that is not a guarantee for the Democratic
Party. They aren't guaranteed to get that in 2024. It's there, it's available, but they have to work
for it. Now, they can hatch all sorts of plans as far as how to mobilize the base and get the vote
out and social media campaigns and all of that stuff. But the easiest way would be to deliver
for those people who put you in office. It's a big win for the Democratic Party. But if you are
looking at this and you're looking at the midterms, you're seeing that the unlikely voter didn't show
up. Not the way it did during the midterms. That's a demographic that the Democratic Party
is going to need. They have to get them active and keep them active. There might have been
a little bit of, there's no way Walker is going to win, so people didn't show up to vote.
That's a thought process that the Democratic Party really needs to work against,
because the last time there was a major race where that was significantly at play,
it was people saying there's no way Trump's going to win. It can lead to some pretty catastrophic
losses. The Democratic Party should take a moment, enjoy the victory, but then they have to get back
to work. Those unlikely voters that really kind of saved them during the midterms, they have to
figure out how to turn them into voters who are going to show up or who are going to cast their
ballot. Now as far as the Republican Party is concerned, there's already a few people who are
basically thinking that something's wrong, again, because they had so many Republican pundits talk
about the fact that Walker was going to win, regardless of the polls. But because they have
trained their audience to listen to them rather than look at data, there were a whole bunch of
Republicans who were counting on Walker to win tonight, and that didn't happen. So expect
at least a little bit of the normal aftermath from a Republican loss, especially from the
MAGA faction, the Sedition Caucus. There will undoubtedly be rumors and claims, because that's
just how it goes now, because the Republican Party as a whole won't push back against it.
Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
