President-elect Joe Biden will join the lineup of influential Democrats involved in Georgia's ongoing senatorial campaigns, according to his recently-named forthcoming chief of staff.

Ron Klain—who will formally step into the role when become Biden assumes office in January—discussed the outcomes of Georgia's two runoff elections, and how they could affect the next administration's political agenda, during an appearance on NBC News' Meet the Press Sunday morning. Klain previously served as Biden's chief of staff between 2009 and 2011, during his vice presidency under Barack Obama.

"We're going to work hard to win those Senate seats in Georgia," Klain told Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd.

"I think you'll see the president-elect campaign down there as we get closer to Election Day," he continued. "We're going to put people, money, resources down there to help our two good candidates win. I'm very hopeful that we can win those seats."

1. GREAT! With Joe, Kamala, Obama, & Abrams all concenreating in Ga. It almost guarantees a win!

Wow, just looking at those names all together is TERRIFIC! What a lineup!!!!

[calguy]

3. Don't forget this is Georgia

A Democrat winning there is never guaranteed. I would rate our side as underdogs right now. I really hope I'm wrong.

5. Well, Joe won the Presidential vote here on 11/3. I believe there are more Dems than Pubs, but they

usually don't bother to vote. Stacy worked sosme magic in her get out the vote campaign for the General, and proved to the Dems thaat if they vote, they can win! I think, since they now know they can win TWO Senate seats, along with all the Dems Stars coming here & Stacy working her magic again, we aren't guaranteed win, but surely not the underdogs!

9. I'm afraid the Republicans/Trumpers will feel especially motivated...

...to prevent the Dems from controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress. It'll be a tough one.

21. it always is and they won't rest, so get ready yourself.

Evil is always on the goose-step march against the Democrats.

27. I thought the Repugs all believe that the election is fixed for the Dems

If I was a Repug and I really believed that BS that they have been spewing, I sure wouldn't waste my time to vote.

16. How did the down ticket dems do in Biden's Georgia victory?

Every door in every modest home in the state needs knocking at as often as possible.

7. Ordinarily, Democrats don't turnout well for runoff elections.

That said, I am not sure that the Republicans will turnout well this time without Trump on the ballot.

It will be close, but I am cautiously optimistic that we can pull them both. I am counting on Trump-depression.

17. voters do not turn out for run offs period.

We had a primary runoff in July and very few voted.

In 2012 there was a 7 way primary on the Republican ticket. The top two were Ted Cruz and Lt Governor David Dewhurst who was by all accounts a decent guy.
Well it went to a runoff and of course no body voted. Turnout was dismal and Cruz won that primary. If more folks had voted in that runoff, we would not have had Cruz.


And the rest is history.

20. This Run-off is different

It would be nice if Republicans won't show up for this run-off, but the Democrats will be out in full
force with Biden, other top Democrats, and Stacey pushing the way.

[Nimble_Idea]

22. I hope so

gawd pwease!

[IsItJustMe]

28. You're a real bowl of cherries

Sunshine!

[Laelth]

8. I want to see one, short speech from Jimmy.

I just want to remind the nation that Georgia has given us just one President, James Earl Carter, Jr., and he is a Democrat.



-Laelth

[Yeehah]

23. Great idea

President Carter is a wonderful human being.

[Laelth]

14. And while we're at it, somebody invite Bill.

Bill Clinton won GA for the party in 1992.

Invite Hillary too. She didn’t do too badly in GA.

2. Awesome!!!

Just make sure masks are plentiful!!

[CottonBear]

4. Hell, yeah! This is awesome news!

If The Tangerine Tyrant stays away, then his lowest common denominator MAGAT followers might stay home.

I can hardly wait to cast my vote for Ossoff and Warnock in the runoff!

[Bayard]

10. Fantastic!!

And if Pres. Carter would come out that would be icing on the cake! Can we get the Obama's too?

11. Check out this 96 year old GA woman who Voted Biden..

Biden Won Georgia.. It's important for him to be there!

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Just wow! That is really all in.

Bold, but I guess since he won't have taken office yet there's little downside. Sitting presidents usually shy from specific races.

[Sherman A1]

13. Good!

[peacebuzzard]

15. Urban Dems makes the difference.

Stacey Abrams knows the turf better than anyone.
I trust her strength to get the votes.

[Chrysanthemum]

18. Donate if you can!

Although we can ill afford it, we just donated $100 each to Jon and Raphael. It feels great!

For those who can afford it, please give! These races will determine how effective Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can be!

[TeamPooka]

19. The GOP Devil will not go down to Georgia. IMHO. Why should he help the GOP? What have

they done for him lately?
He lost, so he's out.
Don't see him trying to help there.

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Biden's speech from Warm Springs was an iconic highlight of this campaign year

I think it contributed to flipping Georgia blue too!

[DinahMoeHum]

25. If Stacey Abrams said it's OK. . .then go for it.

[MustLoveBeagles]

26. K&R

[IsItJustMe]

29. Kept thinking to myself that Biden is really going to need those seats.

Need to put on a full court press in Georgia.

So now, if could only get us some Obama in there, with maybe a little Bill Clinton, and some other top Dems that have some pull, who knows?

[TomCADem]

30. K&R - It seems like the GOP's main argument...

...is that they would support a Trump coup.
