( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: JOINING ME TONIGHT
[119]
IS THE WOMAN
WHO DELIVERED GEORGIA TO JOE
[121]
BIDEN THROUGH HER ORGANIZATION,
"FAIR FIGHT," AND WHO HOPES TO
[123]
MAKE HISTORY WITH TOMORROW'S
SENATE ELECTION.
[127]
PLEASE WELCOME, STACEY ABRAMS!
[132]
MS. ABRAMS, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING BACK!
[133]
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME
AGAIN.
[135]
>> Stephen: HAPPY ELECTION
EVE, NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
[137]
WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE RIGHT
AFTER THE ELECTION.
[139]
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
ELECTION TOMORROW OF, OBVIOUSLY,
[144]
RAFAEL WARNOCK AND OSSOFF WHO
ARE RUNNING TOMORROW, BUT I WANT
[147]
TO TALK ABOUT THIS TAPE RELEASED
OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE
[151]
PRESIDENT PRESSURING
RAFFENSPERGER TO FIND VOTES IN
[155]
GEORGIA THAT WOULD GIVE THE WIN
TO THE PRESIDENT.
[159]
YOUR NAME COMES UP A COUPLE OF
TIMES IN THAT.
[162]
HAVE YOU HEARD THE RECORDING?
[164]
>> I DID INDEED LISTEN.
[165]
>> Stephen: THE PRESIDENT SAYS
THAT -- HE SAYS THAT STACEY IS
[171]
LAUGHING AT YOU, TO
RAFFENSPERGER.
[174]
SHE'S LAUGHING AT YOU.
[175]
COULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE
LAUGH?
[177]
IS IT A GIGGLE, MORE LIKE A --
( MANIACAL LAUGH )
[186]
-- WITH THE FLY HANDS.
[187]
HOW ARE YOU LAUGHING AT THEM?
[190]
>> HYMN THINKING ABOUT THEM.
[192]
I'M FOCUSING ON WINNING THE
ELECTION.
[195]
THEY ARE NOT MY ISSUE.
[196]
>> Stephen: BOOM!
[197]
VERY QUICKLY, WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THE PRESIDENT PUTTING THE
[199]
PRESSURE ON RAFFENSPERGER?
[202]
WERE YOU SHOCKED TO HEAR AT OR
IS THIS PAR FOR THE COURSE?
[206]
>> NOT AT ALL.
[207]
THIS IS A PERSON WHO HAS
DEMONSTRATED ABSOLUTELY NO, YOU
[211]
KNOW, GRASP OF THE AWE GUSTNESS
OF HIS OFFICE OR THE CONTOURS OF
[214]
THE LAW, BUT I WILL SAY
LEON-IZING BRAD RAFFENSPERGER IS
[223]
NOT IT.
[224]
HE'S DEFENDING THE ELECTION HE
RAN.
[226]
AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT HE'S
PUSHING ON TRUMP, HE'S WORKING
[230]
HAND IN HAND WITH REPUBLICANS TO
PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF WAYS TO
[234]
CONSTRAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE
STARTING WITH THE NEXT ELECTION.
[237]
I DON'T WANT PEOPLE BE
DISTRACTED BY HIS ATTEMPT TO NOT
[241]
BECOME A LAUGHING STOCK BASED ON
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM IN JUNE, WE
[247]
SHOULDN'T MISTAKE HIM FOR A
VOTING RIGHTS CHAMPION.
[249]
HE'S NOT.
[250]
BUT A BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT
TWICE A DAY, AND HE'S DEFENDING
[255]
THE RESULT BECAUSE THE ELECTION
RESULT IS THE RIGHT RESULT.
[259]
>> Stephen: IS IT HARD FOR YOU
TO ACCEPT THAT YOU AND DONALD
[262]
TRUMP AGREE ABOUT ANYTHING?
[264]
BECAUSE, EVIDENTLY, BOTH OF YOU
DON'T THINK BRIAN KEMP SHOULD BE
[267]
THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.
[269]
>> AGAIN, BROKEN CLOCKS AND
OCCASIONAL CORRECTNESS.
[272]
I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT THAT
TOO CLOSELY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
[275]
TO HAVE TO REEXAMINE MY LIFE'S
GOALS AND MISSION.
[279]
>> NOW, WHEN IT COMES TO THE
CURRENT SECRETARY OF STATE,
[285]
RAFFENSPERGER DOWN IN GEORGIA,
AS YOU SAID, DON'T LIONIZE HIM.
[291]
THIS IS BUTT COVERING FOR HIM,
IS HOW I CHARACTERIZE YOU
[297]
CHARACTERIZING IT AND STOP ME IF
YOU WANT, BUT SINCE HE IS IN
[301]
CHARGE OF THE ELECTIONS, WHAT
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HIM TO DO OR
[305]
WHAT SHOULD WE KEEP OUR EYE ON
AS VOTES ARE COUNTED FROM
[308]
TOMORROW'S ELECTION?
[309]
>> WELL, FIRST, WE NEED TO MAKE
CERTAIN THAT THE PROCESS WORKS
[313]
SMOOTHLY.
[314]
SADLY, BECAUSE TO HAVE THE
PROPAGANDA AND THE
[316]
MISINFORMATION, WE ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT ELECTION WORKERS.
[318]
WE WANT THEM TO BE SAFE.
[319]
WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO
THEIR JOBS AND, HOPEFULLY, HE IS
[324]
GOING TO WORK AS HARD AS THE
REST OF US ARE TO MAKE SURE THEY
[328]
THEYHAVE ACCESS TO THE SUPPORT T
NEED.
[332]
BUT WE KNOW IT TAKES TIME TO
COUNT BALLOTS.
[336]
WE HAVE 4.2 MILLION CAST BALLOTS
ALREADY AND THE NUMBERS REFLECT
[341]
AN EXCITEMENT THAT'S NEVER BEEN
SEEN IN A RUNOFF.
[343]
WE NEED TO BE PATIENT AND WE
NEED TO KNOW WE MAY NOT HAVE THE
[347]
ANSWER TILL WEDNESDAY OR
THURSDAY.
[349]
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL HAVE IT BEFORE
NEXT NOVEMBER, BUT WE SHOULD
[351]
HAVE AN ANSWER PRETTY QUICKLY,
BUT WE SHOULD BE PATIENT WITH
[355]
THE PROCESS.
[356]
>> Stephen: THAT 3.2 MILLION
PEOPLE WHO VOTED EARLY IN
[360]
GEORGIA, HOW DOES THAT TURN OUT
TO THE TURNOUT IN THE GENERAL
[364]
ELECTION.
[365]
GENERAL ELECTION HAS A TOTAL
TURN OUT OF 5 MILLION PEOPLE AND
[367]
IT'S UNUSUAL FOR A RUNOFF
ELECTION TO COME CLOSE.
[372]
THE LAST ELECTION OFTEN WAS
2.8 MILLION PEOPLE IN 2008, SO
[377]
WE'VE SMASHED THOSE RECORDS.
[379]
WHAT'S MORE EXCITING, OF THE
MILLIONS WHO VOTED, 112,000 ARE
[383]
PEOPLE WHO DID NOT VOTE IN
NOVEMBER BUT DECIDED TO VOTE IN
[387]
THIS ELECTION, 40% ARE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN, AND
[389]
AFRICAN-AMERICANS ONLY COMPRISE
ABOUT 30% OF THE REGISTERED
[392]
VOTERS.
[393]
BUT 20% ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 29,
THEY'RE 18 TO 29, AND THEY'RE
[398]
ONLY 12% OF THE ELECTORATE.
[399]
THAT MEANS PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S AT STAKE AND THEY WANT TO
[402]
BE HEARD.
[403]
>> Stephen: NOW, IN NOVEMBER,
YOU TOLD ME THE SENATE RUNOFF
[406]
STRATEGY WAS "TO RAISE ALL THE
MONEY WE CAN AS FAST AS WE CAN."
[410]
HOW DID THAT GO?
[411]
>> YES.
[412]
IT WENT REALLY WELL.
[413]
WE WERE PRETTY GOOD AT IT.
[415]
THERE'S A LOT OF INVESTMENT --
>> Stephen: BY REALLY GOOD AT
[420]
IT, I UNDERSTAND IT'S OVER
$100 MILLION FOR EACH OF THE TWO
[426]
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
[427]
>> YES, AND MY ORGANIZATION
"FAIR FIGHT" WAS ABLE TO RAISE
[430]
ENOUGH MONEY THAT WE WERE ABLE
TO SHARE MORE THAN $25 MILLION
[434]
WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO MAKE
CERTAIN THAT THEY HAD THE
[436]
RESOURCES THEY NEEDED TO SUPPORT
TURNING OUT VOTERS.
[440]
>> Stephen: HOW ARE YOU
FEELING ABOUT TOMORROW'S
[444]
ELECTION?
[445]
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ODDS ARE?
[447]
>> IF I KNEW ODDS-MAKING I WOULD
BE IN LAS VEGAS.
[453]
UNFORTUNATELY I DO POLITICS
INSTEAD.
[455]
BUT WE'VE SEEN INCREDIBLE
TURNOUT FROM DEMOCRATS ACROSS
[458]
THE STATE.
[459]
WE HAVE SEEN A DIVERSE
ELECTORATE, THE LIKES OF WHICH
[461]
WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A RUNOFF, AND
WE'RE ENERGIZED.
[464]
I WAS AT THE BIDEN RALLY TODAY,
AND THE ENERGY IS EXTRAORDINARY,
[469]
BUT I WAS ALSO IN SMALL COUNTIES
AROUND THE STATE.
[472]
PEOPLE WANT COVID RELIEF, THEY
WANT GOOD JOBS, THEY WANT ACCESS
[476]
TO JUSTICE, AND THEY WANT JOE
BIDEN TO HAVE A PARTNER, NOT AN
[485]
OBSTRUCTIONIST, AND THEY NEED
KAMALA HARRIS TO BE
[490]
VICE PRESIDENT AND GET A TIE
BREAKING VOTE.
[494]
I PUT MY ONE ON BLUE.
[496]
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICKBREAK BUT WHEN WE COME BACK
[500]
I'LL ASK MS. ABRAMS IF SHE HAS
ANY PLANS TO RUN FOR OFFICE
[504]
AGAIN PERHAPS IN GEORGIA,
PERHAPS FOR GOVERNOR IN TWO
[505]
YEARS.
[506]
STICK AROUND.
