The U.S. Senate runoff in Georgia on Jan. 5 will determine which party controls the Senate. On Monday (Jan. 4), both President Donald Trump and the Democratic presidential nominee traveled to the Joe State to campaign for their respective party’s contenders.
On January 5, incumbent Republican Senators David Perdue (David Perdue) and Kelly Loeffler (Kelly Loeffler) will compete with Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff (Jon Ossoff) and Raphael Warnock (Raphael Warnock).
In a media interview, Perdue said the importance of the Joe State Senate runoff goes beyond a party battle to America’s last line of defense against socialism.
Biden will travel to Atlanta Monday afternoon to campaign for Ossoff and Warnock, and his partner, He Jinli, already traveled to Savannah, Jo. on Sunday, marking the second time the two have traveled to Jo. to campaign.
President Trump will also travel to Dalton, Jo. on Monday night to campaign, and on Dec. 27, the president tweeted, “On behalf of two great Senators, David Perdue & Kelly Loeffler, I will be traveling to Georgia on Monday night, Jan. 4, for a great and wonderful rally” “So important to our country that they win!”
In early December, Trump held a campaign party at Valdosta Regional Airport in Georgia, where first lady Melania also appeared at the rally. Trump said at the time that the success or failure of the two elections would determine whether “your children will grow up in a socialist country or a free country.
Rep. Doug Collins, R-Joe, told Fox News that the outcome of Tuesday’s Senate final in Joe will depend entirely on voter turnout, and he predicted the vote will be very close.
Collins said Republicans who choose not to vote will only help elect Democrats whose values do not align with Georgia’s.
“Georgia understands what’s at stake here,” he continued. “You have a trust fund socialist, Jon Ossoff. You have a pastor, Raphael Warnock, who thinks abortion is OK, things that really contradict the conservative way of life in the Joe State.”
The two races will determine which party can take control of the Senate in the next term. There are a total of 100 seats in the Senate. Currently, Republicans have won 50 Senate seats and Democrats have won 48 Senate seats, which includes two independent senators who caucus with the Democrats. The Republicans only need to win one more seat to gain a majority in the Senate. However, if the Democrats win two seats, it will be a 50-50 situation, at which point the vice president, who is also the president of the Senate, will have a critical vote.
Georgia state law states that if no candidate reaches 50% of the vote, a runoff must be held.
