“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

President Trump makes his entrance to a final Georgia rally before Tuesday’s vote.
Trump purposefully mispronounces Kamala Harris' name and says she won't be the first woman president because she's more liberal than "crazy Bernie."
"They said you don’t have to go to Georgia, we have it won … honestly we can skip Georgia …" #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

An epic political day: Donald Trump, Kamala Harris to rally in Georgia #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/an-ep…
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. #gapol ajc.com/politics/an-ep…

Just in: Former President Obama will visit Georgia on Monday as emboldened Democrats aim for a big battleground flip #gapol #gasen ajc.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 #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
The Sunday lineup in Georgia: @KamalaHarris & @realDonaldTrump
Monday: @BarackObama
We’d better get used to all this new battleground attention. #gapol ajc.com/politics/in-ge…

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
@sendavidperdue @ossoff Update: I'm hammered.
