Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock will win Georgia Senate race

Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock will win Georgia's runoff, CNN projects, defeating GOP challenger, former football player Herschel Walker, and solidifying the Democrats' majority in the Senate.

Warnock's win gives Democrats 51 seats in the Senate, providing the party with a majority that likely won’t have to rely as heavily on Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote and also allows Majority Leader Chuck Schumer more control of key committees and some slack in potentially divisive judicial and administrative confirmation fights.

This election was Warnock’s fourth campaign in two years. In 2020, he ran against appointed GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler to finish former Sen. Johnny Isakson’s term. That race also went to a runoff that Warnock won in January 2021. Warnock and Georgia Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff’s runoff victories gave Democrats control of the Senate for the first two years of President Joe Biden's administration.

Another Trump acolyte bites the dust.

Now Walker can move onto more important matters, like whether it's better to be a mummy or a zombie.

And Stacey Abrams will likely try one more time for governor. Then that will tie her for loses equal to homo Beto and she can then retire also.

Your just jealous that Beto gets to be a homo and you can't.

Who were the idiots voting for Walker? He's dumb, inexperienced, immoral, unethical, a liar, and violent.

It never should have been that close. Maybe it was the voter suppression? Can't imagine that many people were in love with HW. Good on GA residents for getting out early and in large enough numbers to tip the balance despite depressing odds.

That was GA. But yeah 1.7 mil voting for him is scary.

Thanks, edited it. It must have been a lot of people voting for their team regardless of the person. A last ditch effort to mitigate the fallout from the "red wave."

A good month for the good guys, with much thanks to Dump. Will the repubs cut anchor?
