.@AmericaFerrera to Latino voters at a runoff rally for Democratic Senate candidates in Gwinnett County: “We deserve to have our voices heard. Talk to every one you know — and remind them that this election is as consequential as the one in November.” #gapol#gasen
.@EvaLongoria: “We’re not from Georgia, but we're Americans — and Georgia, all eyes are on you again. Let me tell you — you guys saved the soul of this nation in November. And you're gonna do it again ...” #gapol#gasen
.@ossoff on still-pending coronavirus relief bill: “Where has the United States Senate been? It's been eight months since they passed any economic relief for the people. Because the truth of the matter is that folks like David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler do not care about you.”

Ahead of coronavirus relief package vote, @ossoff says: “$600 won’t cover the rent or the bills that have piled up over months of inaction by Republicans in Congress.” #gapol#gasen
Perdue’s camp told me last week that since his Senate term ends on Jan. 3 – two days before the runoff vote – he can’t participate in any Senate business until the runoff results are certified, a process that will take weeks. #gapol#gasen
.@GovKemp is fed up with the unrelenting attacks from conspiracy theorists calling on him to overturn President-elect Biden’s victory in Georgia. But he’s even more enraged that some of those peddlers are targeting his wife and three daughters. #gapolajc.com/politics/polit…
@GovKemp Of a potential GOP challenge: “I’m ready for any kind of fight that anybody wants to have – Republican primary general election, whatever it is.” #gapolajc.com/politics/polit…
Kemp: “I can assure you I can handle myself. And if they’re brave enough to come out from underneath that keyboard or behind it, we can have a little conversation if they would like to.” #gapolajc.com/politics/polit…
“We are grateful — and that goes to everyone across the state who are at the front lines.”

Shortly after voting, @SenatorLoeffler says she hasn’t decided yet whether she will object to Joe Biden’s electors on Jan. 6 in Congress.
“I haven't looked at it,” she says, adding: “January 6 is a long way out and there’s a lot to play out between now and then.” #gapol#gasen
She also isn’t acknowledging @JoeBiden’s victory, though several GOP leaders have publicly congratulated the Democrat for winning.
“My focus right now is on my race,” she says, pivoting to an attack on @ReverendWarnock. #gapol#gasen
