Georgia has once again told America they’ve had enough. Thanks to Black-led organizing; Stacey Abrams, poll registration help and more the Democrats have won the state that has now handed them the Senate. With 98% of precincts reporting, Ossoff appears to have defeated Perdue providing the nail in the coffin Dems needed to send Republicans packing.
“It is with humility that I thank the people of Georgia for electing me to serve you in the United States Senate. Thank you for the trust that you have placed in me,” Ossoff said in a video streamed online on Wednesday morning. Hours before, the campaign of his opponent, Sen. David Perdue, said it “will require time and transparency to be certain the results are fair and accurate.”
Ossoff ‘s win comes after Warnock also defeated outgoing Senator Kelly Loeffler who lacked morale and also decidedly palled around with a KKK member.
