Good evening, everyone. I'm Allison Kamarata.

And I'm Laura Coates and this is CNN Tonight. And look, the Georgia election just may be a big

nail in the coffin of Donald Trump's political aspirations after his hand-picked candidate

Herschel Walker was defeated by Democratic Senator Rafael Warnock. So the question is, has

the fever broken as members of his own party are now abandoning him?

And as you know, Laura, Republicans are in the throes of a Georgia election autopsy. Tonight,

they're reconsidering their opposition to mail-in voting and early voting. Maybe those practices

are not so bad after all.

Our panel is already giggling. Thank you. I heard of the conversation.

I heard of the conversation. Plus, the controversy over a Virginia restaurant that canceled

a reservation for a conservative Christian group that is lobbied against same-sex marriage,

lobbied against abortion. We'll tell you what it's all about. We've got a lot to talk about

tonight with former federal prosecutor Jim Walden and CNN political commentators,

SE Cup and David Urban. Now, the question really, I mean, you think about it, Allison, right,

is, has it broken? I mean, this was a no-good, terrible week or month for Donald Trump. But

yesterday, with Herschel Walker's loss, I mean, was that it?

I think you have to parse out Republican political elected and then the Republican base. I think

Republican Zenophys and Republican leadership are wondering how they can win again and maybe

regretting that Faustian bargain they made back in 2016 to accept all the crap that comes

with Trump. For very short-term gain, let's be clear. But the base, I think, is all in

on Trump still. They're not affected by this kind of stuff. It makes Trump more of a victim

and a loner and a strong man out on his own. You still hear people like Marjorie Taylor
