President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are slated to return to Georgia in the days before the state’s Senate runoffs on January 5 to make the final push for Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock, according to the Biden transition team.
Transition officials announced on Wednesday morning that Harris would be traveling to Savannah on January 3 before Biden stumps for Ossoff and Warnock in Atlanta the following day on the eve of the runoffs.
The plans mark Biden and Harris’ second round of visits to the Peach State ahead of the high-stakes elections that will flip the Senate blue should the Democrats defeat GOP incumbents Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA).
Biden’s visit falls on the same day as President Donald Trump’s rally in Georgia on behalf of Loeffler and Perdue in Dalton.
More than 2.3 million people have already cast their ballots after early voting began on December 14.
May not win but no one can say they aren’t trying.
Meanwhile, also in Georgia:
This is the perfect time and the perfect argument:
Whether or not you would normally vote for Perdue and Loeffler, as long as the Republicans are in the majority in the Senate, Mitch McConnell will block relief to the middle class. The only way to turn that around is to elect Ossoff and Warnock. If they don’t win, McConnell will block everything Biden will try to do to help middle class Georgians.
And we’ll see.
Loeffler and Perdue were against $2000 payments, but now they trip over themselves to support anything the President says, no matter how crazy.
Biden and Harris should emphasize that they will encourage differing opinions and will therefore be more honest with Americans than the GOP has been.
All right, people, let’s stay safe out there, and do it to them before they do it to you.
