Harris and Biden will arrive in the state Sunday and Monday, respectively, where they will campaign for Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) and Jon Ossoff (D). Democrats must win both seats on Jan. 5 to achieve a 50-50 split in the upper room, which would make Harris the potential tie-breaker in all votes.

Both measures would likely be a deal-breaker for the Democrats.

Turnout in the run-offs in Georgia is expected to match the level of the presidential election, with some experts pointing to the surge in early votes in Democratic strongholds as a positive sign for the Democrats in the state.
