At the end of the electoral vote, interest returned to Georgia… ‘The Senate dominates the battlefield’

-U.S. President-elect Joe Biden visited the state of Georgia on the 15th (local time), where the Democratic Party is suspected of recapture of the Senate majority party. He ran to Georgia one day after confirming victory in the presidential election by electoral vote the day before. The Republican Party also gradually accepted the presidential election defeat and began to rearrange the row, and the Georgia Senate runoff voting fever, called the’Second Round of the President’, is heating up.

Biden-elect held a drive-in campaign in Atlanta that day and appealed for support for the Democratic Party. Regarding Georgia’s victory in the presidential election, he said, “You did a really great job in November.” You have to do this again.” On the 5th, President Donald Trump made a campaign in Georgia.

Georgia, which elects two federal senators, will vote for the runoff on January 5, next year, according to state law, as a majority of the votes did not appear in last month’s election. Democratic Candidate John Osoff faces Republican Congressman David Purdue, while Rafael Warnock (Democrat) faces Congressman Kelly Loeffler (Republican).

Currently, the Republican Party has 50 seats in the Senate, and the Democratic Party has 48 seats. Even if the Republican Party takes only one of the two seats, the Republican Party retains the majority. However, if the Democratic Party takes both seats, the Senate (Vice President) casts a boat, and the Democratic Party becomes the majority party. When the Republican Party becomes the Senate majority, it is burdensome for Biden’s new administration to manage the state. In a recent poll, both candidates continue to fight within the margin of error in both seats. On the 14th, the first day of pre-voting, up to 170,000 voters finished voting, showing intense heat. Meanwhile, in a speech at the Senate plenary session on the 15th, Senate Representative Mitch McConnell publicly acknowledged the victory of Biden, saying, “I want to celebrate Biden’s victory.” He also told Republican lawmakers not to raise objections when Congress verifies election results on January 6th. It seems that President Trump’s persistent allegations against the presidential election in the Georgia runoff ballot three weeks ahead could be adversely affected.
