Legislative agenda could come down to these senators, depending on Georgia results – By Morgan Phillips (FOX News) / Dec 18 2020
Even with two wins in Georgia, the Democratic Party’s moderate flank would be well-positioned to rain on the progressive parade
Georgia’s Republican senators warned of a “radical liberal” Congress controlled by the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders if they lose their seats.
