One-on-one with Jon Ossoff

Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff has emerged as the best funded Senate candidate in U.S. history. His challenge to unseat Republican incumbent Senator David Perdue, and Georgia's other contest between Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler will decide which party controls the Senate chamber for the first two years of the Biden administration. Just two days out from Election Day, Ossoff joins CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss everything from the Trump administration's "outrageous incompetence" to his thoughts on expanding the Supreme Court.

Less than a week before Georgia's Senate runoff election

More than 2.5 million votes have already been cast in Georgia's Senate runoff election. The rest of the state's voters will head to the polls on January 5. Only one of the two Republican incumbents needs to win for the party to maintain its majority in the Senate. If both Democratic challengers win, there will be a 50-50 split in the chamber, with the deciding vote going to incoming Vice President Kamala Harris. J. Miles Coleman, an associate editor for Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, discusses the tactics being used by the candidates less than a week before election day.

Tough choices for Georgia's GOP senators

The fight over increasing stimulus payments to $2,000 and a vote to override the president's veto of the National Defense Authorization Act could have big implications for Georgia Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue as they campaign to keep their seats in the January 5th runoffs. Patricia Murphy, politics reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, spoke with Jamie Yuccas on CBSN about what's at stake and the large early voting turnout in the Peach State.
