In a statement to supporters Thursday, the Trump campaign warned that control of the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance in Georgia, where the rapidly approaching runoff election features two Republicans facing off against Democratic opponents, who the campaign describes as “represent[ing] everything liberal activists have been screaming about for four years.”

The Jan. 5 runoff election in Georgia will determine which party controls the Senate. Right now, there are 50 Republicans, 46 Democrats and two independents who caucus with them. In one Georgia race, Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock faces Republican incumbent Rep. Kelly Loeffler; in the other, Republican Sen. David Perdue goes up against Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff.
