Georgia May Have Two Senate Runoff Elections as Perdue’s Vote Count Falls

HeadlineNov 06, 2020

Georgia may now be facing two runoff Senate elections in January, and the outcome could decide which party controls the Senate. Georgia Republican Senator David Perdue has fallen below the needed 50% to beat Democrat Jon Ossoff outright. At the time of this broadcast, Perdue was at 49.8%. A runoff is already set for Republican Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler and Rev. Raphael Warnock for the state’s other Senate seat.

Meanwhile, in Michigan, Republican Senate candidate challenger John James is refusing to concede to Democratic Senator Gary Peters. James has asked for an investigation into the vote but has presented no evidence of wrongdoing.
