Early voting in the Georgia Senate runoff election is officially underway. Voters have between now and December 6th to cast their ballot for the Georgia Senate race.

Early voting began on Saturday in the race between GOP candidate Herschel Walker and incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock.

The Peach State moved to hold a runoff after neither candidate won more than 50% of the vote during the midterms. According to Georgia law, in order to win an election in the state, a candidate must win at least 50% of the vote. If no candidate breaks the 50% threshold, a recount is mandatory.

As of Sunday morning, nearly 100,000 votes had already been cast.

This comes as Walker’s campaign released a new ad on Friday. The Republicans campaign casted doubt on Warnock’s character.

Recent polling shows Warnock and Walker in a close race ahead of December 6th.

President Joe Biden appears to admit he has no respect for the Second Amendment.

On Thursday after handing out pies to firefighters in Nantucket, Biden told reporters that he would be working on gun control measures in the next coming months.

President Biden today: “The idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It has no social redeeming value. Zero. None…I'm going to try to get rid of assault weapons"

Even after being arrested for bomb threats, the Colorado nightclub shooting suspect’s evasion of the state’s strict red flag laws prompted the president to push for them to be even stricter.

Biden went on to call for a ban on practically all legal weapons.

“The idea, the idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It’s just sick,” Biden said. “It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it, except profit for the gun manufacturer.”

Democrats often attempt to make hunting rifles like the AR-15 sound more dangerous by using the word semi-automatic, however almost ever legal firearm sold in the U.S. are semi-automatic, barring bolt action rifles and some revolvers.

His comments come as recent polling also shows a declining support for gun control laws.
