I know you're tired, after that presidential fiasco, but don't let down just yet.
Based on races that have been called so far, Republicans and Democrats are deadlocked at 48 seats each.
Besides Georgia, the two remaining uncalled races are expected to go toward Republicans.
In North Carolina, Sen. Thom Tillis (R) has had a small but steady lead, and officials in both parties acknowledge that Democratic nominee Cal Cunningham is unlikely to overcome his vote deficit.
The Hill
There will be runoff elections January 5 for both of Georgia's senate seats. If Dems can take them both, there will be a 50-50 split in the Senate, and Kamala Harris will be the tie-breaker on any party-line 50-50 votes.
The runoff elections are expected to be incredibly expensive. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Ossoff and Perdue's campaigns spent almost $45 million combined ahead of the November election. Warnock and Loeffler's campaign spent nearly $40 million combined. With the fate of the Senate in the balance, it is likely that national Republican and Democratic organizations could spend heavily money in the races ahead of the runoff in an attempt to push their candidates to victory.
It's a huge burden to put on Georgia, but she can do it.
And you can help.
(They really need to change the title of that video.)
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
