ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) — On TV and online, a seemingly endless stream of ads accuse Republican Sen. David Perdue of being “corrupt” and “out for himself.” The senator is not pulling any counterpunches, casting his Democratic rival as “too radical” and backing a “socialist agenda.”

With in-person campaigning dampened by the coronavirus, advertising has taken on even greater importance in Perdue’s race against Democrat Jon Ossoff. Polls show a neck-and-neck contest, and the candidates, as well as outside groups, are spending huge sums on prime time TV spots that often run back-to-back.

The advertising arms race highlights Georgia’s newfound position as a top political battleground, with two Republican-held Senate seats on the ballot and a close race projected between US President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger, former vice president Joe Biden.
