US President Joe Biden celebrated the strengthening of his party's majority in the Senate after Democrat Raphael Warnock was declared the winner of a run-off election in Georgia

The incumbent senator defeated Republican Herschel Walker, a former football star and protégé of former president Donald Trump, according to projections by television networks.

The party's electoral triumph does not change the balance of power in the Senate, of which Democrats had already secured control on 8 November. Mr Warnock's win significantly curbs the power of centrist Democratic senator Joe Manchin, who has already blocked several major Biden initiatives in the first two years of the president's term.

And in yet another sign of how high the stakes were, $400 million was spent on the Georgia race to make it the most expensive campaign of the midterms.

Even the corporate media can't keep under wraps the corruption of the Biden family and of the democratic party. Their collusion with big tech in suppressing negative information which would have adversely affect their election chances is being revealed but not by fake news rte

Anything about Joe's son ?

Another defeat for the red wave. Awww such a shame
