Sen, David Perdue, R-Ga., on Sunday said much of the massive amount of campaign contributions flowing into two crucial Senate races is coming from out of state.

In an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Perdue said both he and fellow GOP incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler are facing an influx of money directed to their Democrat opponents, Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock, respectively.

“Who would believe that you could spend a half a billion dollars in two Senate seats in one state, but it might happen,” he said.

“In my general election, my opponent, just like Kelly Loeffler's opponent, most of their money is coming from out of state, mostly California and New York,” he said.

“We don't want that from outside the state coming down here trying to dictate what we're going to do,” he added.

“This race has become a national race so this is everybody in the country, Democrats and Republicans, trying to weigh in here to get the majority and the Senate and it's very simple. 

“If we keep the majority we not only hold a line against the Democratic agenda but we also protect the gains that we made under President [Donald] Trump over the last four years,” he declared.
