“Vote like our democracy depends on it — because it literally does.” @NikemaWilliams opens Obama’s drive-in rally in Atlanta with a call to action. #gapol
“In just a few hours, we will flip this state blue. This election is between those who seek to divide, and those who wish to unite,” said @RepLucyMcBath, battling to keep her suburban district in Democratic hands. #gapol
“I don’t know if you guys heard, but tomorrow we are making history,” says @staceyabrams. “We are now ready to be the blue state we are meant to be.” #gapol
More Abrams: “I applied for a job and didn’t get it, so I’ve had some time to work. So we’re going to have a fair fight in Georgia, and if we’re going to have a fair fight, we’re going to win.” #gapol
Atlanta Mayor @KeishaBottoms takes the stage: “We have a voice — and it is our vote,” she says, as cars honk in applause. “Each election cycle we stress the same mantra: Every vote matters. I stand here as the 60th mayor of Atlanta as testament to that.” #gapol
.@YelloPain gives the crowd a civics lesson on the importance of down-ballot races #gapol
Senate candidate @ReverendWarnock: “We are all here because this is the moment and this is the place. Are you ready? There is something special happening in this state. I can feel it. There’s energy on the ground – & hope on the horizon. There’s change in the air.” #gasen#gapol
A wave of nods ripples through the crowd with this @ReverendWarnock line: “Beware of folk who try to frighten you into re-electing them.” #gapol#gasen
Senate candidate Jon @ossoff: “Georgia, in the midst of this terrible crisis, the eyes of the nation are on us. And the message is simple: The only way out of this mess is to vote like we’ve never voted before.” #gapol#gasen
“Hello Atlanta! Hello Georgia!” @BarackObama takes the stage in Atlanta. “I’ve got one word for you, Atlanta: Tomorrow.” #gapol
@BarackObama Obama: “I didn’t originally plan to come to Georgia. You see all this gray hair I got? … I got a call that said, Georgia – Georgia could be the state. Georgia could be the place where we put this country back on track." #gapol
@BarackObama Obama on Perdue and Loeffler: "They’re like Batman and Robin gone bad. They’re like the dynamic duo of doing wrong. I don’t know what they were thinking but, Georgia, I promise you: Georgia wasn’t definitely not on their minds.” #gapol#gasen
@BarackObama Obama invokes Ossoff’s viral debate moment: “Perdue was like one of those chickens. I would have felt bad for the guy, if he hadn’t voted four times to take away your pre-existing condition protections.” #gapol#gasen
@BarackObama More from Obama on @Ossoff vs Perdue: “They were supposed to have another debate last night – Perdue chickened out. The scariest Halloween costume he saw this year is Jon Ossoff in a debate." #gapol#gasen
@BarackObama@ossoff Obama is taking a special interest in urging progressives upset with the Democratic ticket to turnout anyways: “The fact that we don’t get 100% of what we want is not a good reason not to vote.” #gapol

Lt. Gov. @GeoffDuncanGA is filling in for @GovKemp, who is in self-quarantine after he was exposed to COVID-19.
“This is worth the fight. This is worth every ounce of energy we put into this ... Every time we protect innocent unborn lives, it’s not just for Republicans.” #gapol
Says @sendavidperdue: “If you look at the contrast between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, it’s ridiculous that we’re sitting here having this conversation ... It took Donald Trump to build that wall, y’all.” #gapol#gasen
Perdue has made no attempts to distance himself from Trump, and is leaning heavily into his support for the prez in the closing days. He skipped tonight’s debate with @ossoff to be here. So ignore talk that he’s downplaying his ties to Trump at this stage of the race. #gasen
In Rome, Democrats are already preparing for Trump’s arrival tonight. #gapol
Both candidates are making a beeline for their bases. @KamalaHarris is headed to once-reliably Republican Gwinnett County, now a linchpin of the Democratic strategy to flip Georgia. Trump is headed to the ruby-red northwest part of the state. #gapolajc.com/politics/an-ep…
Just in: Former President Obama will visit Georgia on Monday as emboldened Democrats aim for a big battleground flip #gapol#gasenajc.com//politics/poli…
Obama’s visit represents a forceful final push by Biden’s campaign to expand the electoral map and capture Georgia’s 16 electoral votes – and deal a devastating blow to President Trump’s re-election hopes #gapol#gasenajc.com/politics/polit…
The second debate between @sendavidperdue and Jon @ossoff is about to start. Drinking game words that will definitely get you hammered in the first 10 minutes: China, “radical socialist,” Kamala Harris, corruption. #gapol#gasen facebook.com/wtoc11/videos/…
@sendavidperdue@ossoff Update: Ossoff is steering the debate toward Perdue’s lack of “personal responsibility” for the pandemic’s grisly toll. Perdue says Ossoff can’t hold “China accountable” for the outbreak because his firm sold a documentary to a Hong Kong-based company. #gapol#gasen
