Both Georgia Senate Races Head to Runoff in Test of Republican Majority; Schumer: If Democrats Win The Senate Through Georgia Races, We Will ‘Change America’

Both Georgia Senate Races Head to Runoff in Test of Republican Majority:

The race between Senator David Perdue (R., Ga.) and Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff was officially declared for a runoff on Friday evening, in a further test of Republicans’ Senate majority.

Perdue won 49.8 percent of the vote as of Saturday morning, to Ossoff’s 47.9 percent. Georgia law mandates a runoff election if a candidate fails to win a majority of votes cast.

Already on Tuesday, the special election for Georgia’s other Senate seat was called for a runoff, in which Republican Kelly Loeffler will face off against Democrat Raphael Warnock. Both runoff elections will be scheduled for January 5, about two weeks before inauguration day.

“Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are going to win these two U.S. Senate races, and we will defend the Republican majority,” Perdue campaign manager Ben Fry said in a statement to National Review. “We are excited for overtime – it gives us even more time to continue exposing Jon Ossoff and his radical socialist agenda. Jon Ossoff does two things well: burn through out-of-state liberal money and lose elections.” —>READ MORE HERE

Schumer: If Democrats Win The Senate Through Georgia Races, We Will ‘Change America’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer waited only a few hours after several media outlets declared Joe Biden the winner of the presidential race before he declared the Democratic Party’s true intentions for the country should they reclaim the Senate. The control of the upper chamber of Congress will likely come down to two Georgia runoff races in January, since none of the candidates in either contest reached the 50 percent threshold to win.

“Now we take Georgia, then we change the world,” Schumer said, holding a black 2020 flag with a “no” symbol over a 45, denoting Donald Trump, the 45th president, and the words “Reclaiming my country.”

“Now we take Georgia, then we change America,” the New York Democrat said at what appeared to be a mass celebration in New York City.

As of the time of this writing, Biden leads in Georgia by 0.15 percent with more than 98 percent of votes reported. Although Biden has been declared the winner of the presidential race, litigation is pending in several states, with a recount coming in the Peach State. —>READ MORE HERE
