| 0:00.0 | Democrats seem to be rallying around Biden for 2024, and Kevin McCarthy might not have the |
| 0:04.4 | votes to become speaker. I'm Greg Carumbas, join Jim Garrity of National Review and me each week |

| 0:23.2 | Hello and welcome to the Byron York Show, the No-Chit-Chit Podcast. We like to get right into it |
| 0:28.7 | and what we're going to get into today is what is happening in Georgia. Obviously you know there's |
| 0:35.1 | a runoff election there on Tuesday. So for Republicans, the numbers coming out of Georgia look |
| 0:41.6 | kind of ominous. There are records setting totals of Georgians voting early in this runoff, |
| 0:47.9 | the December runoff, December 6th runoff between Raphael Warnock, the incumbent Democratic |

| 1:58.7 | point is still less than it was for the general election because the general election early voting |
| 2:03.2 | period was a lot longer, had more days of voting. But I mean the runoff numbers, they show a, |
| 2:10.4 | an intensity among voters. And in the midterms, intensity belonged to Democrats. It allowed |
| 2:17.2 | them to keep control of the Senate in the face of Republican hopes of taking over the Senate. |
| 2:22.4 | And in Georgia, you know, Warnock, he didn't win, he got more votes than Walker, he won, he got 37,675, |
