Expect to hear more Democrats make this case about the #gasen race in the coming days. #gapol
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
The #gasen Republicans:

“After months of Democrats playing politics with Americans' health and livelihoods by blocking additional relief for our families and small businesses, we finally have a path forward.”

.@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

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
(Also, Trump’s message amplified a liberal operative who is openly working to sink the GOP incumbents in the #gasen runoffs. So there’s that.) #gapol

.@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. #gapol ajc.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.” #gapol ajc.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.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

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
