GASen: Raphael Warnock, Jon Ossoff win Georgia runoff races, Democrats gain Senate majority

from millions spent in political ads, because the race was set to determine whether the Senate would have a Republican majority or be split evenly between Republicans and Democrats. The composition of the Senate, in concert with the primarily Democratic House of Representatives, will determine how much legislation the Democrats can push through during the initial few years of President Joe Biden's administration.

The runoffs saw Democrat Warnock challenge Republican incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Ossoff race against Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue after an election year where Georgia turned blue for the first time since 1992. In 2020, president-elect Joe Biden won the state with 49.5 percent of the vote.On Tuesday the Democrats needed to win both Warnock's and Ossoff's races to have a Senate majority, with vice president Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking vote.

None of the runoff candidates clinched over 50 percent of the vote, which Georgia law requires for a candidate to win, in the general election: Warnock secured 33 percent of the vote and Loeffler 26 percent, while Ossoff landed about 48 percent of the vote and Perdue nearly 50 percent on Nov. 3, 2020.
