Biden made a drive-in rally appearance in Georgia: Speaking over cheers and car honks, Biden spoke in support of Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock, the two Democrats looking to unseat Republican incumbent Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in Georgia s runoff Senate election. If Ossoff and Warnock both do the deed, it would give the Democrats control of the Senate, assuring Biden s cabinet picks a speedy confirmation process. Biden s speech comes after two recounts in the state, with Georgia s electors casting their votes for him yesterday. Thank you for standing strong
