In order for Republicans to hold onto the majority in the U.S. Senate, Georgia Republican incumbents David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler must retain their seats.
Right now, both GOP incumbents are facing challenges from Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock; with Democrats across the nation backing Ossoff and Warnock, the pair are seeking election into the Senate, something that would give Democrats a monopoly on power in Washington.
Republicans, meanwhile, are all in for Perdue and Loeffler. According to a recent Breitbart News report, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) raised over $75 million dollars to back both GOP senators in their Georgia runoff races.
Defending the Senate’s Majority
Defending the majority in the Senate means re-electing Perdue and Loeffler. These tight races remain ongoing as Democrats seek to employ divide-and-conquer strategies against the GOP incumbents and the necessary base to secure their re-elections.
According to an NRSC spokesperson, the body garnered $75 million dollars between October 15 and November 23; the GOP committee also confirmed that the aforementioned funds will be largely used to keep Perdue and Loeffler in the Senate.

The statement from the NRSC comes as Perdue and Loeffler drop new campaign ads against their opponents. Many of these ads debunk the left-wing lies coming from Ossoff, Warnock, and their backers while drawing attention to the work and accomplishments of Perdue and Loeffler.
Support from the Very Top
Left-wing PACs and groups are working to dissuade Trump supporters from backing Perdue and Loeffler, claiming that the Republican senators failed to defend the president.
These claims couldn’t be more inaccurate though; Perdue and Loeffler have repeatedly and vocally maintained their support for not only Trump, but also his legal fight for a free and fair election.
.@Perduesenate & I will always fight for lower taxes so Georgia families can keep more of what they earn. @ReverendWarnock & @ossoff want to raise your taxes by TRILLIONS.
The choice is clear. https://t.co/alupeWhoZ9 #gapol #gasen

On Saturday, the president himself will take a trip down to Georgia in order to campaign for both GOP incumbents. This upcoming Friday, Vice President Mike Pence will arrive in Savannah for a Defend the Majority rally on behalf of Perdue and Loeffler.
Support from the very top, coupled with Georgia Republicans voting for Perdue and Loeffler will be imperative to saving the Senate from a left-wing majority.
Do you think the backing of the NRSC will aid Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in their Georgia runoff races? Do you think Republicans in the Peach State will get out and vote accordingly? Let us know in the comments section below!
