Report: Joe Biden Advisers ‘Privately Skeptical’ of Chances in Georgia Runoff Election

Charlie Spiering 5 Jan 2021

Advisers to President-elect Joe Biden signaled Tuesday they were privately skeptical of Democrat chances in winning the Georgia Senate runoff election.

“Privately, Biden’s team does not expect to win the races, according to Democratic officials,” Politico reported, but clarified that they were “more optimistic about their chances than they were weeks ago.”

In the 2020 election, Sen. David Perdue received about 88,000 votes more than his Democrat opponent Jon Ossoff.  Sen. Kelly Loeffler and her primary opponent Rep. Doug Collins earned more than 636,000 votes than their Democrat opponent Rev. Raphel Warnock.

What Democrats are watching is whether Trump supporters show up for Loeffler and Perdue or remain politically disaffected and stay home.
