Early voting is underway for Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoff between Senator Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker.

On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,”  Julianne Thompson, a Republican strategist and the president of Main Street Network Strategies, and Fred Hicks, an Atlanta-based political strategist and analyst talked with show host Rose Scott about early voting turnout.

“Early voting has just blown the doors off of election offices across the state of Georgia,” said Thompson.
