'They're like Batman and Robin gone bad': Obama targets Georgia senators in final pitch for Democrat
Former President Barack Obama made his final argument for the Democratic ticket at a Monday rally in Georgia, which has turned into one of the key battlegrounds of the 2020 election.
Obama opened the rally praising Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee and his former vice president, as being the right man for the White House. However, he kept most of his speech focused on the Senate, which currently has a narrow Republican majority. Democrats hope to win the chamber on Tuesday, and their chances may depend on whether voters in Georgia are willing to oust their two Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
“Georgia, not only can you put Joe and Kamala over the top, but you can be the state that gives us all a better chance because you’ve also sent Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock to the United States Senate,” Obama said, referring to the Democratic candidates in the races, adding, “You’ve got the chance to flip two Senate seats? I said, I’ve got to go. I’ve got to come. I told Michelle, ‘I’m sorry, baby. I gotta go to Georgia.’ This is a big deal. You have two extraordinary candidates in Jon and the reverend who deserve your vote, and let’s face it, you’ve got two senators who badly need to be replaced.”
Obama criticized Perdue and Loeffler over allegations they had attempted to profit off information they received in a private Senate briefing on the coronavirus while publicly downplaying it.
