President-elect Joe Bidenâs visit to Georgia on behalf of two Democratic Senate candidates today underscores how much his first-term agenda depends on having both chambers of Congress on his side when he takes office next month.
That Biden is even welcome in Georgia reflects a change in the stateâs Democratic politics, which for years tried to distance itself from the national party. But with Bidenâs narrow victory there in November and Democrats aiming to turn out their base voters, candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are embracing him and heâs eagerly approaching his last shot to get the Senate on his side in January.
