WATCH: Bernie Sanders says he has not been asked to help Democrats in Georgia Senate elections

"Did they ask me to go to Georgia to campaign? No they did not," Sanders said.

When asked if this says anything about himself or the candidates, Sanders responded by saying "I think that race is very very important and I would say to our friends in Georgia that it is terribly important that we elect Warnock and Ossoff."

"If we are unable to move aggressively right now on those $2,000 checks, we will do it I believe," Sanders continued. "I can't speak for Joe Biden but I think it will be at the very top of the agenda for a Biden administration."

Sanders performed poorly in Georgia during the Democratic Party presidential primaries in early 2020, securing only nine percent of the vote in the state compared to Biden's 85 percent. It was the fourth worst showing for Sanders in the primaries, with Biden only performing worse in Louisiana, Maryland, and Delaware, the latter of which is Biden's home state.

The Georgia senate races are considered tossups by election observers, with Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff seeking to replace Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue respectively.

Warnock has particularly been singled out by Republicans for views they consider to be radical. Such views include a number of progressive positions including gun control, Medicare for all, wanting to "reimagine" policing, and opposing all abortion restrictions.

The elections will decide which party controls the Senate in 2021, with the recent Senate elections leaving the upper chamber of Congress split 50-48 in favour of the Republicans. With the Vice President being the tiebreaker in Senate votes, the Democrats will need to win both Senate seats to take control of the legislative body. Failure to win both races will start off Joe Biden as a lame duck President.

The election is scheduled for Jan 5.
