Ossoff, Warnock warn of dwindling funds; Schumer 'pessimistic' on Democrats' chances, source says

[BlueWavePsych]

Eight days out from Election Day in Georgia's crucial Senate runoff races, Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are "sounding the alarm" about their ability to keep pace with GOP spending, calling for a "significant increase" in grassroots donations to prevent running out of money.

According to financial disclosure forms, Warnock and Ossoff both raised more than $100 million over the past two months, outraising their Republican opponents, Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, by a significant margin. But GOP outside groups are outspending Democratic groups.

Schumer is "pessimistic" about Warnock and Ossoff's chances in Georgia next week and doesn't want to ruin donor relationships, the source adds.

"This is absolutely not true and this anonymous 'source' has no idea what they’re talking about, and it's really sad NBC published it. Schumer has diligently made calls and fundraised for both Georgia candidates and is optimistic about their chances in January," said Justin Goodman, a spokesperson for Schumer.

13. Thank you, EllenG, for being so strong

There is so much much BS out there that it's great when our folk like you tell the truth.

2. It looks like "absolutely not true" applies only to Schumer being pessimistic, not the need for $

I've donated what I can afford, & we did 200 postcards.

3. Done (again)! nt

4. I mean, is there anyone who ISN'T pessimistic about these races?

They both ended up with fewer votes in November, and it's a GOP state for decades. The questions should be, rather, who in their right minds is OPTIMISTIC about our chances in GA?

5. I admit to assuming the results

are pretty much a given but have kept my pessimism to myself. Have dug deeply in search of hope but came up empty-handed.

8. I was more pessimistic, but looking at voter turnout has made me think they might have a chance

Who’d a thought Biden would win there...but he did!

[moonscape]

12. I think it's more that Trump lost. Had Biden been

up against most anyone else, there wouldn’t have been the ticket-splitting from enough to put him over the top.

10. Polls are trash

No thanks.

7. After everything the GOP has done to the American people,they are still going to keep them in power?

Unreal.

Racism overrides everything?

9. The New York Times reported today that

Federal filings made public last week showed Mr. Ossoff to be the best-funded Senate candidate in history after pulling in $106.7 million from mid-October to mid-December — almost $40 million more than Mr. Perdue’s tally.

If that’s not sufficient to run a Senate race, then something else is in play. I’m getting tired of money being bandied about as the main determining factor in a race. And I’m tired of getting these conflicting fundraising emails every day—“We’re winning!”; “We’re Losing!”; “We can do this!”; It’s Over!!”

I think they have enough money.

11. Agree.

Something fishy is going on.

[edhopper]

15. Yes

but GOP PACS are spending hundreds of millions more. And it is all anti-Ossoff and anti-Warnick

14. Donated.
