David Perdue Caves to Lin Wood, Reluctantly Support’s Trump’s Recount and Audit Efforts

Georgia GOP Senate Candidate and incumbent David Perdue just came out supporting the President and his request for a recount and votes being verified. Senator Perdue took to Twitter to call for a transparent election and all legal votes to be counted and all illegal votes to be thrown out.

I have spoken to President Trump several times in the last week about this, and as I have said from the beginning: every legal vote cast, should be counted. Any illegal vote shouldn’t. Georgians deserve full transparency and uniformity in the counting process. (2/2) #GAsen #gapol

As we previously reported, Lin Wood told Republicans to refuse to vote for Purdue and Loeffler unless they come out in support of the President. Perdue was leading by almost 2 points but was unable to crack 50% and is now in a runoff.

Politicians love votes & money (not necessarily in that order).

Want to get @SenLoeffler & @sendavidperdue out of their basements to demand that action must be taken to fix steal of the 11/3 GA election?

Threaten to withhold your votes & money.

Demand that they represent you.

This may be too little too late for the Senator or maybe the President will now come down to Georgia to campaign for the two after his Tweet. The Vice President was in Georgia yesterday to campaign for both Senators. As it stands right now the Republicans are leading in the Senate 50-48 and will need at least one seat to keep the majority.

Both parties are spending millions of dollars on this race as it determines the power of the Senate. If both Democrats can unseat the incumbent Senators then they will have control of all three branches come January.

However, if the GOP can defeat at least one Democrat then they will be able to keep the Democrats in check and keep the majority in the Senate.

Senator Loeffler will most likely make a similar statement regarding the election if she wishes to gain back the support of President Trump and his supporters.
