THAT IS NOT TRUE

Control will be decided by two run-off election in Georgia on Jan 5

3. Less well-known is Loeffler& #39;s massive conflict of interest. She sits on the Senate Finance Committee which oversees her husband& #39;s company, which owns the New York Stock Exchange

4. In Tuesday& #39;s election, Black turnout was key. Loeffler is running AGAINST the Black Lives Matter movement, which she says she "adamantly opposes."

6. During a Trump rally in October, Perdue mocked Kamala Harris with a racist trope, purposely mispronouncing her name.
