Ron Klain, President-elect Joe Bidens newly named chief of staff, said Sunday that Biden will likely visit Georgia to campaign for Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, the two Democratic candidates in the states January Senate runoffs.
Winning those two Senate seats in Georgia is important, but we're going to do everything we can to help those two
great candidates in Georgia, help them win, Klain said on ABCs This Week. We've already moved people who were working on the Biden campaign on the recounts down there over to be supportive in the field work for our two candidates down there, and I expect you'll see the president-elect travel down there before Election Day.
Victories by both Warnock and Ossoff over Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R) and David Perdue (R), respectively, would result in a 50-50 split in the Senate after the GOP held several seats that were top Democratic targets in the 2020 election.
The thing -- the reality, of course, George, is that even if we win them both, and I think we will win them both we're going to have a closely divided Senate kind of under any scenario, Klain told ABCs George Stephanopoulos on Sunday.
And I think one challenge that the president-elect has taken on is trying to work with members of both parties to build consensus for actions on things like economic relief, like climate change, like dealing with our other crises, our racism crisis, the challenge of fixing our immigration laws and, of course, obviously, fighting COVID, he added.

I would not be surprised if he made a trip down there.
I also expect the Obamas to go down as well perhaps even Bill Clinton (the last Democratic candidate to win Georgia)
