Both President-elect Joe Biden and outgoing President Donald Trump held rallies in the U.S. state of Georgia, where two runoff elections Tuesday will determine whether Republicans or Democrats control power in the U.S. Senate, writes VOA.

The outcome of the high stakes Senate races will dramatically shape the legislative maneuvering for the first half of Biden’s four-year term in the White House.

Biden told a drive-in rally in Atlanta that voters in Georgia will “chart the course, not just for the next four years, but for the next generation”.

He said Georgians had voted in record numbers in the presidential election in November, giving him a narrow win in the state: “Now, we need you to vote again in record numbers”.

Trump campaigned later Monday in a heavily Republican enclave in Dalton in the northern part of the state, continuing his broadsides against Georgia elections officials for refusing to overturn his narrow loss to Biden in the state in the November 3 election.
