Per page Politician (US) Some Republicans are concerned, although Trump is actively campaigning for Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in Georgia and helping save a majority of Republicans in the Senate. , the head of the White House continues to complicate the party’s message for next week’s forced victory elections.
On January 1, Trump called the United States Senate, now controlled by the Republican Party, “a failure” for not passing a proposal to write checks for $ 2,000 to every American citizen and other requirements. Meanwhile, the United States Senate also voted to overcome Trump’s previous veto on the Fiscal 2021 Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
“Now they want to give $ 600 to people devastated by the Chinese virus (COVID-19 implication), instead of $ 2,000, the money that people desperately need. It’s not fair or wise!” – Trump wrote on Twitter, referring to Republicans in the United States Senate.
Some Republicans fear Trump’s measure will give Democrats an advantage. YTDemocrat Chuck Schumer commented: “Simply put, Americans will know that Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, and the Majority Senator Republicans have prevented them from accepting checks. “
However, some other Republican members do not believe the problem is detrimental to election campaigns, especially since Trump did not directly attack Senators Loeffler and Perdue. At the same time, with more than 3 million early voting in Georgia, the change made will not be much.
Earlier this week, Senators Loeffler and Perdue said they were in favor of raising the level of citizen support to $ 2,000 after Trump pushed the proposal.
The focus is now on the additional Senate elections in Georgia on January 5. The two middle seat races Senator Republican Kelly Loeffler versus Democratic rival Raphael Warnock, and Republican Senator David Perdue and Democratic rival Jon Ossoff will decide which party has the majority in the US Senate.
According to Reuters, President-elect Joe Biden and President Trump will campaign in Georgia next week, including holding “head-to-head” events just before this decisive election.
If Republicans win 1 or 2 of Georgia’s seats, they will retain a majority in the United States Senate and have a chance to block much of Biden’s agenda. If the Democratic Party wins both seats, the number of seats in the US Senate will be divided evenly between the two parties, then Future Vice President Kamala Harris’s ballot has a decisive voice.
