A new congress in venezuela but critics say president maduro is trying to seize the last a body controlled by the opposition. And touched on for a capsule carrying samples from a distant asteroids that scientists hope could explain how the solar system for. What was meant to be a rally to back to Senate Candidates has turned into op an opportunity for donald trump to once again falsely claim that he won last months us president ial election has been campaigning in georgia for republicans facing ronald votes next month a poll will decide which one he controlled say u. S. Senate our White House CorrespondentKimberly Hockett reports from valdosta georgia. Donald trump was not the declared winner in last months president ial vote but that didnt stop these georgia voters from attending trumps 1st postelection rally. Thousands here believe trump defeated joe biden even as the president s court cases to overturn the Election Results have over. Her well mainly failed and i said joe biden stole the election in one reelection landslide by a landslide we see all the fraud we see all of the balance there were piled up there were. Brought here in boxes and in trucks at 3 oclock in the morning and even though he agrees trump was in this Southern State to tell them to go to the polls again this time in the Upcoming Senate elections that will decide whether the u. S. Congress is controlled by democrats giving biden the ability to push through legislation but theres a new challenge for republicans some supporters say theyve lost faith in the vote and may not even show up if you go and change their go anyway theyve already filed a vote. Probably are really fraudulent in my opinion but. Im just on the go bowden and if they dont turn this election around or if the governor dont do something to make me change my mind. Both republicans and democrats are spending millions trying to win georgias 2 senate seats but trump insists republicans will keep a grip on the senate warning georgia voters the future of america is at stake you must go vote because its stake in this election is control of the u. S. Senate and that really means control of this country the voters of georgia will determine which party runs every committee writes every piece of legislation controls every single taxpayer dollars trump also continues to insist he defeated biden on november 3rd he claims the mail in ballots received after election day shouldnt count he cues as democrats of stealing the election and vows he will take his challenges to the Supreme Court to win a 2nd term they cheated and they regard president ial election but we will still wouldnt we want. A new poll shows just 25 percent of Congressional Republicans acknowledge bidens president ial win thats why his supporters are fighting to overturn poll results and to block democrats from winning again in georgia. But democrats are also fighting the day before President Trumps visit here for the president barack obama made a Virtual Campaign appearance and president elect joe biden will also be making a visit to georgia before its january vote can really help get aljazeera valdosta georgia. And dragon f. C. Is an associate professor at Emory University she says the runoff vote is a crucial fight between the democrats and the republicans. This race really is coming down to turnout this is not about persuasion i expect that people are going to Vote Along Party Lines so democrats are going to vote for warnock and republicans are going to vote for perdue and leffler in this particular race and so what this means is that both sides have to do their level best in order to make sure that they get as many people to turn out to vote as possible that could actually moderate some of the policy agendas that are coming through congress and so things that might be able to pass the house of representatives couldnt pass in the senate and vice versa so for example lets just use the legislation that passed the house yesterday the house voted to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level that bill is dead on arrival in the Republican Controlled Senate and while such a bill wouldnt be guaranteed to pass a democratic controlled senate one would seem to expect that a Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer would at least put it through the legislative process and at least allow it to be brought up for a vote so those are the kinds of changes that one would expect to happen and its part of the reason why democrats would prefer to be able to have unified Party Control both in the white house and in both chambers in congress there are certain sort of actions that we need legislative approval but then there were decisions that President Trump made unilaterally that president a president elect biden could actually then also handle be executive action.
