Republicans and Democrats don’t agree about much these days, but one common theme on the final weekend before Tuesday’s U.S. Senate runoffs was how important the races were to the future of the country.

If Democrats can sweep Tuesday’s Senate runoffs, they’ll achieve a 50-50 split, giving the vice president a potential tie-breaking vote for at least the next two years.

“Make no mistake,” said Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler speaking to supporters in McDonough Sunday afternoon. “We are in the battle of our lifetime and the eyes of the nation are on us Georgia. We’ve gotta get this done.”
