ATLANTA, GA – Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is the projected winner in the U.S. Senate runoff election in Georgia.Β Warnock faced stiff competition against his Republican challenger Herschel Walker.
Even withΒ control of the SenateΒ already secured, the stakes are high asΒ Democrats sought to winΒ a majority outright instead of the currentΒ 50-50 split and power-sharing agreement. With a runoff victory, Democrats won’t have to rely on Vice President Kamala Harrisβ tie-breaking vote and would have more control of key committees.
Results are still being counted.Β For live updates, visit the Georgia Board of Elections by clicking here.
