Joe Biden rallies for Georgia Democratic Senate candidates

President-elect Joe Biden travelled to Georgia on Tuesday to campaign for two Democratic Senate candidates facing runoff elections that will determine control of the US Senate and shape Biden’s first years in the White House.

Biden urged residents in Georgia to vote early for Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff and he framed success in the elections as crucial to his ability to pass his agenda as president.

“It’s time to stand up and take back our democracy,” Biden told the drive-in rally in Atlanta’s Kirkwood neighbourhood. “Send me these two men and we will control the Senate and we’ll change the lives of the people of Georgia.”

With the presidency and a majority in the House of Representatives secured, Democrats are focusing on winning control of the Senate to complete a trifecta, which would make it far easier to enact legislation that Republicans could attempt to block.
