The race for the Senate in Georgia is already defined as the decisive battle over America - and its character under Joe Biden.
To some extent I have a feeling we're back in November, we'm kind of a second date for Republicans.
What a way to open the year.
Georgia’s three million residents have already exercised their early suffrage in the dual race for the state’s two Senate seats on Tuesday.
The race is dramatic because it will decide the fate of control of the Senate.
The country’s early vote broke a record not seen since 2008 in the Senate race.
Residents' widespread interest in the two-seat Senate race is a direct function of the fact that Georgia has become America's political focus since the November presidential election: it awarded its electorate to the Democratic presidential candidate two months ago, after nearly 30 years of voting for Republican candidates.
Also, the last time a Democratic senator was elected was in 2000.
Georgia has gone from red to purple at the presidential level, but does that also apply to the Senate?
Either way, residents seem pleased with the new status, which has not put them in anyone’s pocket.
Incumbent senators David Pardo and Kelly Lefler - both Republicans - are up for grabs against Democrats John Usoff (Jew) and Rafael Warnock.
The election in Georgia begins right where the presidential election ended: elections in the shadow of the Corona.
The Democrats are once again campaigning on masks, and their crowd remains in the car at the drive-in rallies.
Republican candidates warn that their Democratic rivals are socialists and radicals, while Democrats warn that Republicans will continue to abandon, in their view, America during the plague and that they are wealthy multimillionaires.
Republicans' hopes
Polls predict a close battle.
It should be remembered that Atlanta and the suburbs have a black population, and many immigrants are strongly inclined to Democrats, but Georgia is split this time.
The state that on the one hand granted Jimmy Carter to the United States, and on the other hand Newt Gingrich, is no longer a classic "southern" state in the election - because of the demographic changes that have taken place in it.
Republicans hope to win a victory thanks to the votes of rural Georgia, as they have done over the past few decades, but Democrats believe the trends will work in their favor again as in November, even though Trump this time is not on the ballot.
Either way, President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden plan to come to the country on their own in the coming days to hold rallies, which may make a difference.
Trump's opportunity
If Trump succeeds in bringing about a Republican victory (at least one) in the race, it will help make him the king of kings and the de facto leader of the Republican Party by 2024.
Remember, Democrats have control for the next two years in the House of Representatives, and in about two weeks they will have control of the White House, so all Republicans have left is the Senate.
If the Democrats win both seats - then Senate President Vice President Kamala Harris will be breaking the tie.
But as mentioned, for Republicans, a small 0-1 on Tuesday is enough to make Biden's presidency a nightmare for him.
Atlanta, the largest city in the country, is still not calming down from the upheaval that has been here.
Stacey Abrams, who almost won the governor's election in 2018 and has since managed to get a huge boost in the number of Democrats registered to vote, also returned to optimistic work.
She claims she has managed to get more than a million people in the country to apply for early voting forms - a number almost identical to what was in the November election.
In recent days there have been two kinds of storms in the country.
One around the Democratic candidate Usof, who agreed to do business with a Hong Kong company attached to the Chinese regime.
The Second Storm - The revelation that the second Democratic candidate Raphael Warneck, who is also a pastor who actually leads the same church led by Dr. Martin Luther King, said harsh words about America in his sermons: about the need to "dismantle the dark American machine," He also did not forget to attack Israel two years ago.
Either way, on Thursday the race got another twist when Senator Pardo announced he would be forced to be in isolation because he was exposed to a verified patient, but there is a surprising poll showing Usof leading by 7 points in one of the important polls nonetheless.
Reminder from the election
The early vote worries Republicans, but they can be encouraged by the wake-up call and the fact that libertarians who did not come to vote for Trump will come this time to help.
Georgia is a state where residents are jealous of their weapons (the Second Amendment to the Constitution) and the church.
Here are two good enough reasons for there to be a red Republican awakening this week.
As mentioned, the Democrats are encouraging from a higher number of voters on the paper, while the Republicans are encouraging from the higher number coming on Election Day itself ... reminds you of something ...
