(Reuters) – President Donald Trump travels to Georgia on Monday in a bid to keep the U.S. Senate in the hands of his Republican Party, after his efforts to overturn his own defeat in the state have injected new uncertainty into a pair of races that are seen as too close to call.<\/p>

President-elect Joe Biden also will travel to Georgia for a last-minute rally ahead of the Tuesday runoff elections, which pit a pair of incumbent Republican senators against two Democratic challengers.<\/p>\n

If Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue successfully defend their seats, their party would maintain a 52-seat majority in the 100-seat Senate, giving them the power to block much of Biden\u2019s agenda when he takes office on Jan. 20.<\/p>\n

A sweep by Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff would hand control to Biden\u2019s party, as Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would hold the tiebreaking vote in the 50-50 chamber. That would make it easier for Biden to enact further coronavirus relief and tackle climate change, as Democrats also control the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

None of the candidates won a majority in their November races, which spurred the runoff elections.<\/p>\n

Biden narrowly won Georgia in November, breaking years of Republican dominance in the state. Trump has refused to acknowledge his defeat and his campaign has unsuccessfully sought to overturn the results in Georgia and several other battleground states.<\/p>\n

Trump pressured Georgia\u2019s top election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, on Saturday to \u201cfind\u201d enough votes to overturn his defeat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you\u2019ve recalculated,\u201d Trump said, according to an audio recording of the call released by the Washington Post. Raffensperger refused his request.<\/p>\n

Democrats and election experts say Trump\u2019s efforts almost certainly broke the law.<\/p>\n

It is not clear whether Trump\u2019s actions and his repeated claims of election fraud will affect the outcome of the Senate races. Strategists from both parties say the outcome could likely hinge on how many Republican voters participate on Tuesday, given strong Democratic early-voting turnout.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we get our vote out on Election Day then I think Perdue and Loeffler both have a very strong chance of winning,\u201d Cobb County Republican Party Chairman Jason Shepherd told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Trump warned Raffensperger on Saturday that Republican voters might be disheartened if Biden\u2019s victory is allowed to stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of what you\u2019ve done to the president a lot of people aren\u2019t going to vote, and a lot of people are going to vote negative,\u201d he said on the call. He has previously called for both Raffensperger and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, both Republicans, to resign for not backing his unsupported allegations of election fraud.<\/p>\n

The campaigns have obliterated spending records and spurred unprecedented turnout. More than 3 million Georgians have already cast their votes and political groups have flooded the southern state with a tsunami of advertising.<\/p>\n

Trump is due to visit Dalton, a city in the state\u2019s heavily Republican northwest.<\/p>\n

Biden will rally along with Ossoff and Warnock in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
