CNN calls race for Reverend Warnock

Last I saw, with about 80% of the vote in Warnock is ahead by about 25,000 votes or so out of several million cast. He is likely to just barely win election.

Most of the remaining uncounted votes are from strongly Democratic Atlanta precincts. I think some current models are estimating Reverend Warnock winning by Three to Four percent
 
If you had said in Savannah that a black man would have been their Senator, they would have lynched you.

A Democrat getting elected senator twice in a deep south state is quite an accomplishment!

Agreed it's an accomplishment, but the narrowness of the vote, regardless of which way it went, proves that Georgians, like most Americans, are not happy with our government leadership.

It's closer than the 2020 Presidential election popular vote results: Biden 51.3% Trump 46.8%

A big difference being Presidents are elected by Electoral College votes, not the popular vote. Still, the closeness of the votes indicate American voters are not happy campers.

Warnock was already a Senator from the 2020 special election.

I think it's a significant point that the Republicans felt compelled to run a black challenger against Warnock instead of a Kemp lookalike....another close race:

Brian Kemp
Republican Party
53.4%
2,110,328

Stacey Abrams
Democratic Party
45.9%
1,811,471

I don't think any Democratic senator ever wins in a southern state with more than 52 or 53 percent of the vote at most.

My theory is that if a Democrat runs strong in Georgia, they are likely to run very strong in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, Wisconsin.

I forgot to include the part about Savannah prior to 1960's.

Not lately. LOL

My theory is that Americans are disappointed in the partisanship of both parties, which is why the voting percentages are not more lopsided.

You called your fellow Christian (a Black man at that) a scumbag?

And I thought you were a Christian? :thinking:
 
Expanded majority: Democrats will now control 51 seats to the GOP's 49. The victory will allow the party to dispense with the current power-sharing agreement with Republicans and make it easier to advance President Biden’s nominees.
