Campaigning in Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoffs Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Monday emphasized that 2020 isn’t over until Jan.
5. That’s the date of the state’s twin Senate elections, which will determine if the Republicans hold on to their majority in the chamber, or if the Democrats control both houses of Congress as well as the White House.
Harris, headlining a drive-in rally in Columbus, a mid-size city about 100 miles southwest of Atlanta, alongside Democratic Senate nominees Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, noted that "2020 has been rough" due to the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic recession. "People keep making jokes about 2020 like ‘we want this thing to be over,’" she said.
