NBC News 2024 campaign embed, Namdi Eguanwu is with Republican voters at a watch party in Atlanta, Georgia. Namdi, it's so good to see you. You do fantastic work and I know you've been there with the voters in Georgia. What are they telling you? What did they think of tonight's debate? Well, Kristin, getting a reaction from voters here in Atlanta was quite easy. They actually organized a straw poll on their own during the debate and were keeping track of their opinions. And by the end of the night, you have a big Ramaswami at the watch party of about 30 people getting five votes. You have Ron DeSantis getting two, both Nikki Haley and Kristin Christie having a sole one vote. And get this, former President Donald Trump, despite not being on the stage, got 18. So that's really reflective of the vibe of the night here in Atlanta, but you don't have to take my word for it. A couple attendees agreed to stay after and give us their opinions. And, Will, I want to start with you. There was a moment tonight that got a lot of people riled up. What was the moment that caught your eye, that left a mark on you? What left a mark for me was Nikki Haley being called out for being the warmonger that she is. At the same time, Ramaswami holding up a notepad saying Nikki is a corrupt. And that's something that stands out really strongly in my mind and in the voters' mind. But they talk too much about Trump, a man that wasn't on the stage, but it rules the stage tonight.
