BREAKING: Raphael Warnock Projects Winner As Ossoff Leads – #SenateRunoffRace—According to CNN projection, a repudiation of Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and her adherence to President Donald Trump has been dashed as Rev. Raphael Warnock, the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, was elected on Tuesday to be the first black senator from Georgia.
With this, the control of the US Senate now comes down to Republican David Perdue, who is running to keep his seat against Democrat Jon Ossoff.
Warnock is the first Georgia Democrat elected to the Senate in 20 years, and his election is the culmination of years of voter registration drives conducted by former state House Democratic leader Stacey Abrams and other activists. President-elect Joe Biden also won Georgia, the first time for a Democratic presidential candidate since the 1990s.
