Democrats have taken US Senate majority after Jon Ossoff won his race in Georgia, it has just been announced amid all the chaos.
Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, Democratic challengers who represented the diversity of their party’s evolving coalition, defeated Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler two months after Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state since 1992.
Warnock served as a pastor for the same Atlanta church where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. preached, and has become the first African American from Georgia elected to the Senate.
Also, Ossoff, a former documentary filmmaker, becomes the state’s first Jewish senator and, at 33 years old, the Senate’s youngest member.
