[Epoch Times January 5, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Zhang Ting comprehensive report) Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden (Joe Biden) went to visit on Monday (January 4)GeorgiaAtlanta participated in the rally to support the Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock (Raphael Warnock) and Jon Ossoff (Jon Ossoff).
GeorgiaOn Tuesday (January 5) there will be a runoff election for the two federal senator seats. Current Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler who are seeking reelection will compete with Democratic challengers Osoff and Warnock.
Two election battles on January 5 will determine which party can control the next Senate. The Senate has a total of 100 seats. At present, the Republican Party has won 50 Senate seats, and the Democrats have won 48 Senate seats, including two independent senators who have party relations with the Democratic Party. The Republicans only need to win one more seat to obtain a majority in the Senate. However, if the Democratic Party wins two seats, a 50-50 situation will be formed. At this time, the Vice President who is also the Speaker of the Senate has a crucial vote.
For this important election, at least 3 million people have voted in advance. The polling station will open at 7 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday and close at 7 p.m.
“Georgia, the whole country is looking forward to you leading us forward.” Biden said at the rally. “The power is actually in your hands. Unlike at any time in my career, a state can not only determine the direction of the next four years, but also the direction of the next generation.”
Biden also mentioned the $2,000 epidemic relief check that the Senate has yet to pass.
Biden said that voting for Jon and Warnock would allow Congress to pass the $2,000 bailout check. Biden said that if you vote for Republican Senators Perdue and Loeffler who are seeking re-election, you will not see a $2,000 relief check. “It’s that simple.” Biden said.
But in fact Perdue and Loeffler both supported the $2,000 relief check. President Trump also supports the $2,000 relief package. When holding a campaign rally for Perdue and Loeffler in Joe State on Monday, Trump stated that Perdue and Loeffler both strongly support this plan and provide $2,000 relief checks to Americans who work hard in Joe State and across the country.
Some Republican lawmakers opposed the universal distribution of $2,000 checks because they were worried that the country’s debt would build up. They also believed that such “universal cash distribution” was not the right way to provide targeted relief to those most in need. Sending checks to households with 6-figure income and not affected by the epidemic is “financially irresponsible.”
At the rally on Monday, Biden also condemned Perdue and Loeffler as staunch supporters of Trump. Both of these lawmakers support President Trump’s fight against fraud in the Joe State election.
In a recent interview with the media, Perdue said that QiaozhouSenate runoffThe importance of this transcends party disputes, but is the last line of defense for the United States against socialism. Both he and Loeffler have stated that they must be re-elected to prevent the Democratic Party from gaining enough power to implement its “socialist agenda.”
President Trump said at an election rally for Perdue and Loeffler in early December that the success or failure of these two elections will determine “whether your children grew up in a socialist country or a free country.”
