The two Georgia senators who are facing runoff elections next week were not part of the group of Republicans who announced Saturday they will join in objections during the upcoming joint session of Congress.

The names of Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) were noticeably absent from the joint statement released by the group.
