The preacher, who leads the same church once led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., will make history as the first Black senator in the state of Georgia.in one of Georgia's dual U.S. Senate runoffs is a"historic moment," adding that he"can't wait" to be in the upper chamber of Congress"to represent the concerns of ordinary people."
Just before 2 a.m. Wednesday, ABC News projected that Warnock will prevail over incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed to her seat by Gov. Brian Kemp in December 2019 to serve when Sen. Johnny Isakson retired until a special election was held to determine who would serve until his term ends in Jan. 2023.Warnock, senior pastor of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, the former pulpit of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
GOP concerns mounted early, and never subsided before the election, that Trump's rhetoric of a"rigged" election would suppress Republican voters from coming out. Loeffler and the other GOP candidate competing in a runoff, former Sen. David Perdue, were in lockstep with the president through the two-month sprint to the runoff.
Asked what his number one goal for this year in the Senate was, Warnock said, as he had throughout his campaign, that the country needs to get the coronavirus pandemic under control.
This s**t head had the most vile and disgusting TV advertisements imaginable. I’ve had the endure 3 months.....NON-STOP and to think this got him voted in us really sad. Oh and he ran over this wife’s foot with his car
This country is depending on people like you. If you fail, this country fails.
Evil man
He’s absolutely a vessel.
Evil abodes in DC the swamp is busy
JayEmme00 SENATOR-ELECT, REV. RAPHAEL WARNOCK!!! I'm sooooo proud I gave to this great man's campaign. Money so very well spent!!! JUSTIFIED!
Once again the black vote has saved our asses from democracy destruction. Isn't it past time to make these wonderful heros complete equal citizens? Start with prosecuting those white power idiots in cop uniforms!
Historic? Georgia voters (GV) do NOT have high quality standards that were clearly displayed by Alabama voters (AV). AV, faced with a child molester in 2018 (Roy Moore), rejected him, electing Doug Jones. Yesterday GV, faced with a child molester (Warnock), elected him. Wakeup
When Republicans say 'Election Fraud' they simple mean that too many Black People voted.
When Democrats win , We the People win ! Simple enough ?
Yupp, historical alright. Look at his history ... Democrats are hypocrites.
😂liar ordinary people? He will work for corporate millionaire 👊🏻
Congratulations! I am not from GA but excited to see a man with integrity and faith go to Washington.
