US Senate Balance of Power Hangs on Georgia Runoff

Mike O'Sullivan

   LOS ANGELES - Early voting is under way in the U.S. southern state of
   Georgia for two Senate seats for which none of the candidates received
   a majority of the vote in the November election. At stake in the
   January 5 runoff vote -- the balance of power in the U.S. Congress.

   Both U.S. President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden have
   focused their energies on the races. Trump told a December 5 rally in
   the state that "the voters of Georgia will determine which party runs
   every committee, writes every piece of legislation, controls every
   single taxpayer dollar," as he urged support for incumbent Republican
   Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.
