politico: Overtime: Both of Georgia's Senate races will go to January runoffs. They'll likely decide who controls the Senate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Republican Sen. David Perdue and Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff will go to a runoff, after both fell short of a majority in the November vote.

Also, Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock.

The two runoffs in the state — this race and the special election for the state’s other Senate seat — will decide control of the Senate on Jan. 5.

2. What about North Carolina?

4. Here are current vote tallies for NC Senate Race...

Votes are still being counted. If NC has the rule where the candidate doesn't reach 50% of the votes, then this should be going to a runoff as well.

3. If dems can beat trump statewide in ga they can take this.

7. i think this takes what stacey abrams brought. you register your voters, you engage your voters,

you turn out your voters.

all the propaganda in the world wont buy that.

i think its smart money, not big money.

13. Paging Bloomberg

Any of that billion you didn't spend on the presidential race, here's your chance to make it up.

9. We can take it but the dynamics are different

Our Democrat candidate for president is leading while our Democratic senate candidates aren't. I assume we had a lot of split ticket voters (they didn't like Trump but they're still republican).

We have to drive the kind of turnout we have in this very election to have a decent chance at winning because although Georgia is now competitive, it still leans somewhat republican.

6. Expect a real fight

1) Expect them to spend millions, maybe even a record amount

2) We're competitive in Georgia, but it still leans somewhat republican so we need to bring our 'A' game. We need to bring out every possible voter we can bring out. Both sides had a record turnout this year, but Trump drove a lot of that (as much as I hate to say that). Trump won't be that motivating factor anymore.

3) I understand we want to be safe but I think this will require more ground game. More knocking on doors, etc.

8. I hope both Dems come out as winners

Is it common in Georgia that both senators reelection campaigns the same year?

[In It to Win It]

10. No. One is a special election and the other (Ossoff) is for a full term seat

12. Thanks

11. Hate to say this, but Atlanta GA may end up being Ground Zero in the war to be waged by Trump

Let's pause a moment to think about the timing of the runoffs. By then, these state results will have been finalized and Joe Biden will be our 46th President. Trump will be suing everyone and there will be scattered skirmishes around the country as the losers lick their wounds and lash out at us. And then, just days before Biden's inauguration, this seminal set of elections, which may end up determining if we run the table or not. The stakes couldn't be higher. The dollars will continue to pour in from all corners and there's a lot of time between now and then to plan an insurgence.

If Ossoff and/or Warnock win the runoff elections, it could get real ugly down here in the ATL.

17. In another thread, someone posted that some Georgia GOP voters

are pissed off at the GOP, and are already talking about sitting out the run-off races.

Great for the Dems in the race, but talk about shooting oneself in the foot.

15. We're not winning both

We have to be realistic. Georgia is not gonna vote for a Democratic Hat Trick.

[Progressive Jones]

18. Ya never know, with a re-invigorated Democratic base, plus the opportunity

to take 2 Senate seats. It's going to be wild, that's for sure. All eyes will be on Georgia, and these 2 races.

[Polybius]

19. Yeah

We couldn't even beat Sue Collins, despite leading in every poll.

[Progressive Jones]

16. Stacey Abrams, no doubt, will play a big role here. She's a Democratic Party Hero!

She will also be a major player in moving the South blue from here on out. Like I said, HERO.
