With a Senate runoff in Georgia potentially determining which party takes control, GOP Senator Ted Cruz warned that if the state falls to Democrats, along with the Presidency, Americans will face a “socialist abyss”.
In an appearance on Fox News, which has already called the presidency for Joe Biden much to the disgust of many Republicans, Cruz demanded that the rule of law be followed.
“At this point, we do not know who has prevailed in the election,” the Senator said, emphasising that “The media is desperately trying to get everyone to coronate Joe Biden as the next president, but that’s not how it works.”
“The media does not get to select our president. The American people get to elect our president,” Cruz urged.
“We’ve got numerous states that are very closely and vigorously contested — from Pennsylvania to Georgia to Arizona to New Mexico to Michigan to Wisconsin. In all of those states, there are serious disputes about the vote totals, and there’s a legal process to resolve those disputes,” Cruz declared.
“So at this point, we should allow the rule of law to operate. We should allow the legal process to move forward. And when that process is concluded, which it will be in a matter of weeks, we will know who prevailed in the elections,” Cruz added.
The Senator then warned of a scenario in which the Senate and the Presidency could fall to the Democratic Party.
“If we have a Chuck Schumer Senate and a Joe Biden presidency, they will pack the U.S. Supreme Court; they will end the filibuster; they will pass massive tax increases; they will pass the Green New Deal, destroying millions of jobs,” Cruz warned.
“If we have a Republican Senate, none of that happens,” he noted.
“If you want a check on Joe Biden, if you don’t want to go over the edge to the socialist abyss, Georgia is the big enchilada,” Cruz proclaimed.
Both Senate seats in Georgia will be contested in a run-off in early January.
The GOP currently holds 48 Senate seats, with Democrats on 46, in addition to two independents who are aligned with Democrats. The GOP leads in two states that are still counting votes, in North Carolina and Alaska.
With a majority of 51 seats needed to control the Senate, this means that Georgia is the key, with strategists estimating that $500 million could be spent on the two races there.
There has not been a Democratic Senator in the state for 20 years.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer told a crowd in New York over that weekend “Now we take Georgia, and then we change America”:
Biden hasn’t even been inaugurated yet and he’s already not socialist enough

Extreme leftist Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed the Party’s leadership for not being radical enough, before Joe Biden has even inched anywhere near the White House.
Fox News reports that AOC is less preoccupied with the presidency, and more with the fact that the so called ‘blue wave’ never materialised, stating that the Party “relied too heavily on outdated Democratic National Committee campaign tactics.”
The congresswoman complained that too many establishment Democrats are still not embracing radical ideas like defunding the police and the so called ‘Green New Deal’.
Labelling moderate Democrats “sitting ducks”, AOC said that “Our party isn’t even online, not in a real way that exhibits competence. And so, yeah, they were vulnerable to these messages, because they weren’t even on the mediums where these messages were most potent.”
“There’s a reason Barack Obama built an entire national campaign apparatus outside of the Democratic National Committee,” she continued, presumably referring to Obama’s infamous ‘Organizing for Action’ group.
“And there’s a reason that when he didn’t activate or continue that, we lost House majorities. Because the party — in and of itself — does not have the core competencies, and no amount of money is going to fix that,” AOC continued to rant.
OCASIO-CORTEZ: SEES `DEEP DIVISIONS' AMONG HOUSE DEMOCRATS
Here we go. Joe hasn't even been inaugurated yet and he's already not socialist enough
“If you are the DCCC, and you’re hemorrhaging incumbent candidates to progressive insurgents, you would think that you may want to use some of those firms. But instead, we banned them. So the DCCC banned every single firm that is the best in the country at digital organizing,” AOC further complained regarding the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
AOC took a shot at Nancy Pelosi and, presumably, Joe Biden, for not standing up against ‘anti-activists’ and falling short of embracing extreme leftists.
“The leadership and elements of the party — frankly, people in some of the most important decision-making positions in the party — are becoming so blinded to this anti-activist sentiment that they are blinding themselves to the very assets that they offer,” AOC said.
“I need my colleagues to understand that we are not the enemy. And that their base is not the enemy. That the Movement for Black Lives is not the enemy, that “Medicare-for-all” is not the enemy. This isn’t even just about winning an argument. It’s that if they keep going after the wrong thing, I mean, they’re just setting up their own obsolescence,” she further proclaimed.
“I genuinely don’t know. I don’t even know if I want to be in politics. You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn’t even know if I was going to run for re-election this year,” she complained.
“Externally, there’s been a ton of support, but internally, it’s been extremely hostile to anything that even smells progressive,” she added.
This is exactly what President Trump warned about for months when he said that Joe Biden would be wide open to being completely co-opted by ‘the militant left’ within his party:
The process of ousting Biden, either within his first term, or after the first four years, and elevating Kamala Harris to the Presidency has already begun before the election is even officially over.
Stocks of gunmakers have soared at the prospect of a Joe Biden presidency, with sales of physical firearms also likely to follow suit in response to the risk of the Second Amendment coming under attack.
After initially tumbling on Wednesday at the likelihood of Trump gaining re-election, gun stocks have staged a dramatic rise over the last 48 hours.
“This should not be a total surprise since we have warned for months that Americans across even the most liberal states were panic-hoarding guns and ammo,” reports Zero Hedge. “Weapon background checks surged to record highs, rose 79% year-over-year over the summer amid pandemic fears and violent social unrest gripping major metros.”
As we reported before the election, gun stores were being “cleaned out” across the country, notably by first time buyers worried at the prospect of a break down in law and order.
Gun makers like Sturm, Ruger & Co. and Clarus Corporation’s Sierra also reported rising gun sales for personal protection as America experienced months of unrest and riots following the death of George Floyd.
Fears of mass unemployment under a Biden presidency are also partly driving the interest in firearms for self-defense.
Biden campaigned on a gun control policy of banning assault weapons, enforcing more stringent background checks, and ending the sale of firearms and ammunitions online.
However, with Republicans maintaining control of the Senate, he will face an uphill struggle to dilute Second Amendment rights.
With the media about to declare Joe Biden victorious as Donald Trump vows to fight on in court, the Biden campaign has publicly threatened to ‘escort trespassers from the White House.’
Last night, President Trump gave a speech asserting that he wouldn’t allow an election to be “stolen like this.”
“We think there’s going to be a lot of litigation because we have so much evidence, so much proof, it’s going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land, you’ll see,” said Trump.
The Trump campaign also released a statement insisting, “This election is not over.”
However, Team Biden responded with an open threat to physically remove Trump from the White House if necessary.
A spokesperson for Biden responded: “The United States government is capable of escorting trespassers from the White House.”
As we previously reported, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley met with TV network anchors last weekend to inform them that the U.S. Military would not intervene in the election.
Milley sought to “dispel any notion of a role for the military in adjudicating a disputed election or making any decision around removing a president from the White House.”
