U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will campaign for U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Chambliss’s campaign has confirmed.
Chambliss is locked in a tight runoff with Democrat Jim Martin that will be decided Dec. 2. The post-election race has attracted national attention as Democrats attempt to get a 60-vote, filibuster-proof majority in the upper chamber and Republicans try to prevent it.
