LGBT+ campaigners have revealed the track records of the two Republican Senators whose re-election race in Georgia holds unique national importance.
The runoff elections are taking place because the general election in November was too close to call for Georgia’s two seats in the US Senate.
If the Democrats win both seats, they will control the Senate. That will make it far easier for President-elect Joe Biden to advance his policies after he takes power in January.
But if the two Republicans – Senator Kelly Loeffler and Senator David Perdue – win their reelection bids, then their party will hold control, allowing them to block Biden and the Democrats.
