Georgia Senate rivals David Perdue, the Republican incumbent, and Jon Ossoff, the Democratic challenger, both framed the Jan. 5 runoff elections as a battle for the fate of the nation on Sunday. Georgia's Senate seats, both currently held by Republicans, are the "last line of defense against this liberal socialist agenda that the Democrats will perpetrate," Perdue told "Sunday Morning Futures." PERDUE LINKS OSSOFF TO SCHUMER AND PELOSI IN HIS FIRST GEORGIA RUNOFF AD"We heard [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer say just last week if we take Georgia we change America," Perdue said. Meanwhile, Ossoff said Democrats need to flip the Georgia Senate seats so that Democratic President-elect Joe Biden can accomplish his agenda. Georgia state law dictates a runoff if no candidate reaches 50% of the vote, a threshold that Perdue narrowly missed.
