Biden Puts Skin In the Game In Georgia

Politico: “The success of the president-elect’s agenda hinges on the two Senate runoff races that will decide the balance of power in the chamber. If Ossoff and Warnock fail to defeat Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler on Jan. 5, it will mean a GOP-controlled Senate that’s guaranteed to stand in the way of implementing Biden’s policy goals.”

“Then there’s the matter of appearance. While Biden risks expending precious political capital even before taking the oath of office, if he plays it safe and declines to go to a state he narrowly won — especially after President Donald Trump and a bevy of Republicans have campaigned there — it will send an early message of caution and timidity. And it would signal to Georgia Democrats that the uphill contests were too far out of reach.”
