President Donald Trump rallied his supporters in Georgia on Saturday night and encouraged them to unite together and deliver payback to the Democrats by turning out and voting in record numbers for Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in next month’s runoff election.
“The answer,” Trump began, “is not to stay at home, that’s what Nancy Pelosi and Schumer, that’s what they want you to do.”
“If you want to do something to them — I don’t want to use the word ‘revenge,’ but it is a certain revenge — to the Democrats, you show up and vote in record numbers,” Trump continued. “That’s what you have to do.”

“But we’re watching this so closely, we have everybody watching, you got to get out and vote,” Trump continued.
Trump said that Republican voters will not be able to look themselves in the mirror if they do not show up and vote, and the Democrats win the two Senate seats.
“We have to hold the line, and you have two of the greatest people on earth, we have to hold the line,” Trump continued. “Make sure that you and everyone else know that you have to register to vote before this Monday, December 7th.”

Republicans have started bringing out the big guns to close the deal in Georgia as party officials have “tapped into the full national network of Republican donors with an aggressive schedule of fundraising events, in-person and conducted over Zoom, that have already yielded tens of millions of dollars,” Politico reported, noting that significantly more money is expected to flow in to boost the two Republicans over the next few weeks. “The Georgia Battleground Fund — the joint fundraising committee fueling the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the campaigns of Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler — has already deposited $31 million after three weeks of activity, according to a memo this week from Karl Rove, the veteran GOP operative leading the effort.”
If Democrats win both of the Senate seats, they will have a 50-50 tie in the U.S. Senate and the vice president would be the tie breaker in any deadlock votes. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris received on Friday the 270 Electoral College votes that are needed to win the presidential election after California certified its election results.
Democrats have expressed a desire for eliminating the filibuster if they win the two Senate seats, which would allow them to pass whatever they want with a simple majority vote, which the Democrats would have since Harris would be the tie-breaking vote.
Following last month’s election results, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) said that if Democrats win those two seats, then they are going to change the country.
“Now we take Georgia, and then we change the world,” Schumer said at a political event in New York City following the media’s declaration that Democrat Joe Biden had won the 2020 presidential election. “Now we take Georgia, then we change America.”
The Daily Wire reported:
Democrats have called for eliminating the filibuster if they take the Senate, which would allow them to implement a far-left agenda that includes massive power grabs for the Democrat Party.
Included in those power grabs is giving statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. — which could result in four additional Democrat Senate seats, thus making it significantly harder for Republicans to ever gain control of the Senate in the future. Schumer has already said that he would “love to make them states.”
The Democrats, including Schumer, have also stated that “everything is on the table” in reference to whether Democrats will pack the Supreme Court with leftist judges in an attempt to skew the court’s power for partisan purposes. The idea of court packing is so unpopular that only 27 percent of Americans support it.
By Biden’s own words, he would be one of the most far-left presidents in history if he wins and has the ability to pass what he wants to. Biden said, “If I’m able to pass what I’m talking about, my administration would go down in history as one of the most progressive administrations in American history.”
