As Georgia's two Republican incumbent U.S. senators each face a runoff election, their Democratic opponents are receiving help from the same activist groups that helped President-elect Joe Biden defeat President Trump in the state's presidential race, according to a report.
The Peach State's voters will head to the polls Jan. 5, where they will decide between Republican U.S. Sen. David Perdue or Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff in one race, and between Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democratic challenger the Rev. Raphael Warnock in another.
