Rev. Raphael Warnock Defeatsbr Republican Kelly Loeffler in Georgia.br The Associated Press has projectedbr Democrat Raphael Warnock’s victory overbr his Republican opponent in Georgia. .br As of Wednesday morning, Warnockbr holds 50.6 percent of the vote withbr over 2.2 million votes. .br That’s a lead of more thanbr 40,000 votes over Kelly Loeffler.br Warnock’s lead is outside of thebr .5 percentage point margin, meaning Loefflerbr will not be able to request a recount. .br We were told that we couldn't winbr this election … But tonight we provedbr that with hope, hard work and the peoplebr by our side, anything is possible, Raphael Warnock, via NPR.br In Georgia’s other Senate race, Democratic challengerbr Jon Ossoff has taken a slight lead over David Perdue.br On Wednesday morning, Ossoff declared victory on the uncalled race with a lead of just over 16,000 votes. .br Although the race is still within thebr recount margin, much of the remaining votesbr are coming from Democratic-leaning areas. .br The results of these runoff elections arebr key to control in Congress, as Democrats alreadybr hold both the House and the presidency. .br If both Warnock and Ossoff win, soon-to-bebr Vice President Kamala Harris would be ablebr to break any ties in the 50-50 Senate, givingbr Democrats control there as well. .br Senator Chuck Schumer would also unseat currentbr Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratsbr would control committees and the floor schedule.
