Democrat Jon Ossoff is projected to have defeated GOP incumbent Sen. David Perdue in one of Georgia's Senate runoff elections.

After forcing the race into a runoff as neither he nor Perdue won more than 50% of the vote in November, Ossoff rallied support from Georgians across the state to vote for a win.

Ossoff, an investigative journalist, supports strengthening the ACA, raising the minimum wage to $15, legalizing weed, protecting women’s reproductive rights, overhauling the criminal justice system, and giving more financial relief to Americans hit hardest by COVID-19.

With the projected win of Rev. Raphael Warnock, this marks the first time Georgia will have two Democratic senators since 2003, and it will grant Democrats the majority in the Senate, removing Sen. Mitch McConnell from his role as majority leader.
