Democratic megadonors set sights on Georgia Senate fight after helping Joe Biden

Now that President-elect Joe Biden has defeated President Donald Trump, Democratic megadonors are shifting gears toward the Senate fight in Georgia.

The race between Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., and Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock has been deemed a runoff by NBC News. The other Senate race, involving Democrat Jon Ossoff and Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., has yet to be called by NBC News, although Georgia's secretary of state has said that it would be going to a runoff.

In recent days, Democratic leaders, including those within the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, have reached out to some of the top donors and bundlers in the party to help with the election.

The Georgia campaign is expected to cost over $100 million. For Republicans, the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC run by allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will be leading the way in outside spending.

A bit to Warnock, a bit to Ossoff.

I haven't lived in GA for many years, but hope for the best from these races.
