It’s 54° and sunny in Columbus, Georgia, and cars have started to pull in for Vice President Elect Kamala Harris’s drive-in rally, where she’ll campaign with Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock ahead of next month’s Senate runoff election.
Today was going to be a busy day in Georgia, w/ VPE Harris and Ivanka Trump both campaigning in the state, but this evening’s Covid relief vote has disrupted both campaigns, as Harris, Loeffler, and Perdue all are returning to DC.

From me and @ryanobles: cnn.com/2020/12/21/pol…
With Kamala Harris campaigning here in Columbus, there’s already a small crowd of AKAs here in the front row to hear the VP elect speak. For more on how Harris’ sorority helped shape her leadership style, check out this piece from @KyungLahCNN: cnn.com/videos/politic…
Here in Columbus, GA, Rev. Warnock tells supporters at today’s drive-in rally, “Welcome to the new Georgia, welcome to the Blue Georgia,” encourages supporters to vote early, saying, “We should no longer be talking about Election Day, there’s no such thing— it’s election season.”
Speaking in Columbus, Rev. Raphael Warnock talks the November election, says, "We know [Biden/Harris] won, because we counted them, and then we counted them again, and then we counted them again. Can there be any doubt that Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are the Vice President Elect?"
As Warnock talks November 3rd, it's worth pointing out that Senator Kelly Loeffler still refuses to answer when asked if she supports President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the thrice-certified election.
Jon Ossoff takes the stage in Columbus, hitting incumbent Senators Loeffler and Perdue, who he calls “the Bonney and Clyde of corruption in American politics.”
Ossoff asks supporters to "Think about how we’ve come in the state of GA, now the most competitive battleground state in the United States, hosting two US Senate runoffs for control of the US Senate," citing the influence of Rep. John Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In Columbus, GA, Ossoff warns, "Let’s be very clear about the stakes of these elections, because if Mitch McConnell continues to control the US Senate, he will try to do to Joe and Kamala just like he tried to do to president Obama."

In remarks in GA, Kamala Harris tells voters, "I am here, first and foremost, on behalf of Joe Biden and myself, to say thank you...of course no good thank you comes without asking for a little bit more," and "as far as I’m concerned Columbus, 2020 isn’t over until January 5th."
Speaking in Georgia, VP Elect Kamala Harris says, "I've got to go back, I'm voting on that COVID package tonight in DC, and I will be voting for it.”
Speaking in Columbus, GA, Harris blast efforts, like Texas AG Ken Paxton's, "from other states like Texas, to recall your vote, and your voice," praising Ossoff and Warnock as "two leaders...who will fight for your voice."

Hello from the Cobb County GOP office in Marietta, GA— RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is holding a meet & greet here with Georgia Republicans ahead of January’s runoff election. It’s about 50/50 audience wearing masks, but Chairwoman McDaniel wore one before taking the lectern.
“I am here— I am going to be in your state so much,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tells supporters in Marietta, GA. “I’m from Michigan— it’s a lot warmer here.”
Four different people have interrupted RNC Chair McDaniel on vote counts. “I guess it’s a Q&A now!” A voter asks McDaniel about voting machines switching votes. “We haven’t seen evidence of that,” McDaniel says.

Hello from Cherokee Rose Shooting Range in Griffin, GA— IA Senator Joni Ernst is here campaigning for Senator David Perdue, who faces Jon Ossoff in a runoff election January 5th. Kelly Loeffler was scheduled to be here today too, but after a positive Covid test, she’s isolating.
Kicking off remarks, Ernst says, “I heard that this event was at the Cherokee Rose Gun Club, & I was like, ‘Yeah! The only thing that’s missing is a gun & some ammunition,’” warns “We’ve already heard about what a potential Pres. Joe Biden might do to restrict the 2nd Amendment.”
Speaking in Griffin, David Perdue hits Senator Chuck Schumer, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Stacey Abrams— but has yet to mention his opponent Jon Ossoff.

It’s Golden Hour in Butler, PA— President Donald Trump is scheduled to address supporters here at his third of four stops across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today, with just three days until Election Day. People are packed to the gills (and foregoing masks, which you knew).
Pennsylvania is crucial for President Donald Trump, so expect to hear a lot about fracking and energy here— there’s even some signage, “Oil and Gas Workers for Trump,” on the tarmac today.
Indeed, in what is surely a coincidence, the White House just released a statement declaring "President Donald J. Trump is supporting hydraulic fracturing [fracking] and other technologies to protect our jobs, economic opportunity, and national security."

We’re in Tampa today, where President Donald Trump is set to rally supporters just outside Bucs’ Stadium, conveniently just next to a a Covid testing site ImageImage
It is HOT in Tampa, and there is no social distancing and very few masks in the crowd here. The pre-rally program has been interrupted three times for people in the audience requiring medical assistance. Image
Lt. Gov Jeannette Núñez, speaking during today’s pre-Trump rally program in Tampa, says she’s a Bucs fan (after a lifetime of supporting the Dolphins) citing Tom Brady. “It’s great to have the GOAT living in Florida, but I’m here to talk about another GOAT— Pres. Donald J. Trump”
