The president tweeted on Sunday that he will go to Georgia on Monday, January 4, to hold a rally that supports Sens.

For the run-offs that will determine which party controls the US Senate.

On behalf of two GREAT senators, @sendavidperdue & @KLoeffler“I’m going to Georgia on Monday evening January 4 to have a big and great RALLY,” Trump said. “So important to our country that they are winning!”

Loeffler and Perdue take on Democratic candidates Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in the January 5 run-offs. The two Senate races were sent to a second round after no candidate won the majority of the votes in both elections.

If the Democratic candidates win both seats, the upper chamber is split between 50-50, with vice-president-elect Kamala HarrisKamala Harris 2020’s Historic Firsts And What To Watch In The New Year Democrats To Clash In House Special Elections Biden, Harris Release Christmas Greetings, Call For Continuation Of COVID-19 Precautions MORE being the binding vote. If one of the Republican senators regains their seat, the GOP retains control of the Senate.

Trump campaigned for the two Republican senators last month, claiming in a speech that the elections had been “rigged” against him.

Democrats hope they can color Senate seats blue on Jan. 5 after Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Peach State since 1992.

Biden has campaigned for the Democratic contenders and has encouraged voters in Georgia to put Warnock and Ossoff in office to give him the majority in the Senate, in addition to the small majority of the House for the Democrats.
