A Georgia runoff candidate's new ad reminds us that the election cycle is never over


The votes in the 2020 presidential election aren't even fully counted yet, but already candidates are shoring up for the next round. In Georgia, Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) has already released a new ad in preparation for facing incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler in a January runoff.
"Get ready, Georgia," the Democrat warns in the clever ad spot, that nevertheless might be triggering for people who still haven't recovered from our current election cycle. "The negative ads against us are coming."
