On Tuesday, Georgia’s two U.S. Senate races will determine who will control the Senate. While left-leaning articles highlight that a Democratic sweep in Georgia would boost the odds that the Biden administration steers more economic relief spending through Congress, right-leaning articles highlight that Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp said the runoffs could “stop socialism.”
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that a Democratic sweep in Georgia would boost the odds that the Biden administration steers more economic relief spending through Congress. A Democratic Senate would also be more likely to pass corporate tax hikes, creating headaches for corporate executives.
NPR published a centrist article reporting that if Democrats win both races, they will control the Senate, along with the White House and the House. However, if Republicans win one race, then it’s a split government and the GOP will likely be able to block most of Biden’s legislative agenda.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp laid out the consequences of Georgia’s runoffs in stark terms on Monday, as he stated that the results could “stop socialism” and to keep from “handing the keys of power over toe Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, and Bernie Sanders.” President Trump continues to add to the drama with his constant claims that he defeated Biden in the presidential election.
