Vote counting commenced as polls closed Tuesday evening in the Peach State where two critical races will determine the balance of political power in the U.S. Senate.

Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed to the Senate seat following the resignation of Sen. Johnny Isakson, is facing off against Democrat Raphael Warnock in a special election runoff to serve out the remainder of the Senate term won by Isakson, which will end in January 2023.

Former Republican Sen. David Perdue, whose term expired on Jan. 3, is competing against Democrat Jon Ossoff in a runoff race for a regular six-year Senate term.

Warnock leads 54% to 46% and Ossoff leads 54% to 46% with 44% of precincts reporting so far, mostly from urban areas.

Live Updates: Warnock projected winner, Ossoff widens lead over Perdue

ATLANTA — History was made in Georgia on Tuesday. Reverend Raphael Warnock is set to become the state’s first Black U.S. Senator.

The other Senate race between Jon Ossoff and David Perdue is too close to call, but Ossoff is ahead by thousands of votes.

Control of the U.S. Senate when President-elect Joe Biden takes office hinges on the outcome of that Georgia race.

Not only do these results depress me, but the fact that these races broke records for money spent while so many people are losing their jobs and businesses is insane.
