Both of Georgia’s Senate races are going to runoffs, leaving control of the Senate in limbo until January.
Incumbent GOP Senator David Perdue was just shy of the 50% vote threshold needed to claim the seat outright, with most of the ballots counted. He will now once again face off against Democrat Jon Ossoff, who trailed as of Friday by about 98,000 votes out of about 4.9 million cast on Tuesday.
