David Perdue’s final stop today is in Forsyth, Georgia, where people are waiting to hear the senior Senator speak in a local brewery.
David Perdue’s campaign event in Forsyth, GA is indoors, and there’s a temperature check and stack of masks by the door, but there’s only ten people by my count wearing masks in this room (two are reporters, and two are Perdue and his wife).
Tonights host, a Forsyth, Georgia Brewery owner, tells Senator David Perdue they’ve renamed their best selling beer “the Perdue Brew” just for tonight, “And the reason why is because it has a great head on its shoulders...and it’s got a really strong finish.”
Perdue, speaking in Forsyth, Georgia, is interrupted by a supporters cell phone, deadpans “Tell President Trump I’ll call him right back.”
Speaking in Forsyth, GA Perdue warns about losing the Senate if he and Senator Loeffler lose their seats while still attempting to cast doubt on November’s election results, telling supporters, “If they win, if they get the White House, then the Vice President is the tiebreaker.”
Perdue warns that if Democrats control the Senate, they’ll do away with the filibuster & make DC and Puerto Rico states. “Now a lot of people say ‘Oh don’t worry about that, Joe Manchin votes with the Republicans a lot of the time, he’ll protect us,’” Perdue says. “I’m worried.”
Perdue wraps remarks and the County GOP chair leads supporters in chants of “Six More Years!” And now, a photo line.
After his Forsyth photo line and remarks were finished, I asked Senator David Perdue for the third time if he’d call on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to bring a bill supporting $2,000 in direct relief, which he said today he supported, to the Senate floor— he ignored me again.

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.
