In the first vote on November 3, neither candidate for the two Senate seats had the required absolute majority. In the runoff elections, Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are now challenging Republican incumbents David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. A single victory is enough for Republicans to retain a majority in the Senate. The two Democratic candidates would have to prevail for there to be a 50-50 vote deadlock in the chamber, which can be resolved by future Vice President Kamala Harris in favor of the Democrats.
“New day for America”
A day before the decisive runoff elections, Democrat Biden campaigned for Ossoff and Warnock in Georgia’s capital Atlanta. “Tomorrow may be a new day for Atlanta, Georgia and the United States,” Biden said. Regarding the two Democratic candidates, he added: “They have principles, they are qualified. It is honorable, it means what it says ”. On Perdue and Loeffler, Biden said they thought their loyalty was to incumbent President Donald Trump, not Georgia and the U.S. Constitution.
Trump: “extremist”
Trump, on the other hand, called for a campaign appearance in Dalton north of Atlanta to vote for Perdue and Loeffler. “That could be the most important vote you will cast for the rest of your life,” he said in front of thousands of supporters. Ossoff and Warnock are “extremists who would destroy everything that is dear to the patriots of Georgia.”
