Democrats have come within reach of winning control of the Senate, as they celebrated the victory of the Rev. Raphael Warnock in one of the two runoffs, and Jon Ossoff declared victory in the other.

Democrats are on the cusp of taking control of the Senate as they celebrate the Rev. Raphael Warnock’s win in one of two Georgia runoffs and as Jon Ossoff declared victory in the other.

A key question is whether the race will be decided by a sufficient margin to avoid a recount. Under Georgia law, a candidate can request a recount if the margin is less than half a percentage point.But the Republicans’ prospect of losing the Senate — their last bastion of power — loomed as they headed into a momentous day Wednesday.

Even before Ossoff declared victory, Republicans were already beginning to blame Trump for the party’s poor performance, saying his futile, baseless effort to overturn his own loss in November bitterly divided the party and undercut its candidates in Georgia, who were trying to portray a continued GOP Senate majority as a firewall against Democratic power.

The final votes were still being counted and the race has not been officially called Ossoff's favor. But Republicans were pessimistic because most of the remaining uncounted votes were from areas where Democrats have piled up significant majorities.

They won both seats!!!!

Who else never knew that when you mix ORANGE and RED it turns BLUE?
