With both of Georgia’s U.S. Senate seats set to be decided during the state’s runoff elections on January 5th, national attention has been directed at the two races which continue to rage weeks after the November 3rd election. In the first race, incumbent David Perdue will be looking to fend off his challenger, Democrat Jon Ossoff, whom he beat on Election Day by over 88,000 votes.
In the second race, incumbent Kelly Loeffler — who was appointed to the U.S. senate by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp after Sen. Johnny Isakson resigned — is seeking to defeat Raphael Warnock. Warnock, who is senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, received the largest share of the votes during November 3rd’s special election, but far short of the 50% required to avoid a runoff. Loeffler will be looking to consolidate her 1,273,214 votes (25,9%) with the 980,454 votes (20%) Republican Doug Collins received in order to flip the balance in this race.
