From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following the 2020 United States elections, both U.S. Senate seats in the state of Georgia went to runoffs concurrently held on January 5, 2021. As Democratic Party challengers defeated both Republican Party incumbents,[1] Democrats took control of the U.S. Senate, giving a government trifecta to the newly elected U.S. president Joe Biden.[2]
Democrats won both senate races, Ossoff 50.6% to 49.4%, Warnock 51.0% to 49.0%. However, the Republican candidate won the Public Service Commission election by 50.4% to 49.6%.
