Summary
There’s about a month left to go until the two Senate runoffs in Georgia, with Republican Senators Loeffler and Perdue walking the line of campaigning as a check on Biden while also not admitting that he will be the President. Meanwhile, Democratic challengers Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are focusing largely on the pandemic and the multi-million dollar stock trades both their Republican opponents made in its early weeks.
We spoke to Nse Ufot, the CEO of the New Georgia Project, which registered almost half a million people in Georgia leading up to the November election. She told us about what matters to voters in Georgia, how she thinks Trump’s attacks on the integrity of the election is affecting the race, and more.
And in headlines: Bangladesh moves Rohingya families to a settlement on a remote island, Facebook to remove false COVID-19 vaccine info, and mayors are behaving badly.

| 0:51.8 | With just about a month left to go until two Senate runoffs in Georgia, President Trump is heading to the state tomorrow. |
| 0:57.4 | And that has some Republicans worried. |
| 0:59.8 | On the one hand, Republican senators Laughler and Purdue are looking for him to rile up the base to help them win. |
| 1:05.4 | But on the other hand, Trump's continued conspiracy theories of a stolen election in Georgia has caused a growing rift in the party, |

| 1:17.7 | Yeah, those senators can't argue that they could be a check on a Biden administration if their supporters don't think that Biden won. |
| 1:24.7 | Right. All logic, right. And it even went so far that Gabriel Sterling, a Republican election official in the state, |
| 1:30.1 | pleaded for Trump to stop because of the fear that someone could get killed. |
| 1:34.1 | There was also a recent quote, stop the steel rally where Trump supported Lin Wood, a lawyer who had tried to stop the certification of the vote in November, |
