During a Wednesday night appearance on Fox News, Graham told host Jesse Watters that “a tidal wave is coming,” predicting that Republican Adam Laxalt will emerge victorious in the Nevada Senate race on Thursday and the candidate of Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker will win the state on December 6. runoff, which would give the Republicans a majority. Results are expected this week in the two hotly contested Democratic seats that have yet to be called — Arizona and Nevada — and if the parties split those races, Georgia will become the top race for Senate control. Asked how he felt about the results earlier Wednesday, McConnell told an ABC News reporter, “I don’t deal with emotions. The question is, they have to count the votes and then we will know where we stand.” Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) has a narrow lead over Walker, a former NFL star who won the Georgia primary after receiving former President Trump’s endorsement, but both are expected to fall short of a majority. something required by Georgia state law to win on Election Day. Now, the two candidates will face each other again on December 6. “Warnock doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell if we stay behind Herschel Walker,” Graham told Watters, repeatedly encouraging viewers to visit Walker’s website, noting Warnock’s big fundraisers. “If you’re an incumbent and you get ahead the first time, you’re not going to win the second time if the opponent has a chance to get their message,” added Graham. But his confidence didn’t stop in Georgia, suggesting that Laxalt, the former Nevada attorney general turned state GOP Senate candidate, will emerge victorious in his race against incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D). Laxalt currently leads by 2.7 percentage points, but more than 20 percent of the estimated votes have yet to be counted. “Nevada is going Republican tomorrow,” Graham told Waters.

Graham expressed less optimism about the chances of Trump-backed Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters, though Graham said Masters could still beat incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). Either way, Graham said Democrats “will lose the Senate by Dec. 6.”
