Reversed course: certified Biden's electoral victory
U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler voted to certify President-elect Biden's victory, reversing course the day after her loss in one of two Georgia runoffs and hours after President Trump urged a mob to storm the U.S. Capitol. "When I arrived this morning
I fully intended to object to the certification of the electoral votes," Loeffler said on the Senate floor. "However, the events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider, and I cannot, now, in good conscience, object to the certification."

my family to graduate from college. I worked hard to live the American dream and became a job creator right here in Georgia. The Democrats want to fundamentally change America and the agent of change is my opponent radical liberal Raphael Warnock.

I'm a Christian: a person of deep faith
Raphael Warnock: Had Kelly Loeffler listened to the sermon, she wouldn't have used her advantage to make millions on a pandemic.Loeffler: I'm a Christian, I'm a person of deep faith. I don't need a lecture from someone who has used the Bible to not
only justify attacking our military. That's not in Matthew 6:24. It doesn't say you can't serve the military and God, but he's also used the Bible to justify abortion.

Conservative values matter: uphold the Constitution
Loeffler: Conservative values matter, to uphold the Constitution. Our freedoms are under attack in this country, religious freedom, the right to life, the Second Amendment. And that's what helps create opportunity for all Georgians to live freely.
But my opponent, radical liberal Raphael Warnock, is a socialist. He supports policies that would grow our government, bankrupt hardworking families with high taxes. That's why I'm focused on helping every single Georgian succeed.

accusing them of being "more concerned with playing politics than basketball.""This is just more proof that the out of control cancel culture wants to shut out anyone who disagrees with them," she added.
