GA-06 stands out as one district where Perdue/Loeffler did better than Trump.

I think Perdue did better than Trump in GA-11, not sure about Loeffler.

[Adam Griffin]

Lots of commentary I could add, but I'm just too lazy at the moment. See what you can find.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Jon Ossoff 2,268,612 (50.61%)
David Perdue 2,213,604 (49.39%)
= Ossoff +55,008 (1.22%)

Raphael Warnock 2,287,787 (51.04%)
Kelly Loeffler 2,194,480 (48.96%)
= Warnock +93,307 (2.08%)

Warnock pushed Kelly under 49 percent and now has a bigger raw lead than Gary Peters victory margin of +92,335

Good catch, Trump won GA-11 by 15.3%, so it looks like Loeffler and Perdue outran him there slightly (although by less than the 4-6% margin difference between the two Senate candidates and Trump in GA-06).

Their wins continue to look more and more impressive. Pretty sure no one expected Warnock to end up beating Loeffler by nearly 100K votes

[South Dakota Democrat]

I just want to correct the record, Bagel and Caltrina made fun of my prediction that Ossoff and WARNOCK were gonna win and French Republican, now Bagel is doing a 180 and now says GA Senate is Likely D in 2022😆😆😆

Bad Predictions

I say tilt D for 2022 now, you are literally lying. I am also capable of admit listening learning from mistakes and adapting. Also most of my other predictions were good.

I think he's only figuratively lying.

That's gotta be fake news.  Gary Peters is an unbeatable titan, after all.

Both Warnock and Ossoff officially beat their Needle estimates! NICE

The runoffs stand out as a more traditional Dem coalition than the presidential election.  GA-06 voted for Biden by almost as much as GA-02!

The needle will go red and never go back by 8pm.

Cash it in. It’s gaining interest.

haters gonna hate

GA-06 also has by far the most Warnock-Perdue voters of any district.

I just realized Ossoff is 33. He could honestly serve in the senate for 60 years if Georgia’s trends stay that way

I wouldn't go that far. Sooner or later, coalitions will change and new trends will to emerge.

Yeah, he has the potential to be a long-serving member. 2026 might be competitive-ish, but by then Georgia would probably be a fairly Democratic state.

Perdue is right on policy, but he's the kind of establishment GOP politician who hasn't talked to anyone not a member of his country club in the past 20 years.  He reeks of entitlement.

I don't buy the idea of Ossoff being a long serving Senator, he will obviously be primaried in the future by another Democrat and likely a black woman. Given that black women are the real energy behind southern Democratic politics organizing, they deserve to be represented in seats of power as well.

Ethnic identity politics is fairly toxic but a primary challenger would come 15 to 20 years down the line not in 2026. You also don't know if a republican will beat him in 2026 as well cause theres a good chance of that as well

What's he doing on the Capitol anyway? He hasn't been a Senator since Jan 3.

It's a lot harder to successfully primary a Senator than an out of touch House member in a D+25 district. Ossoff doesn't strike me as the type who will take his position for granted, and Georgia's Democrats are more moderate and less crazy than those in New York City.

Well obviously, I just meant he’s in a fairly good position for the next election and is young enough he could stay there for a lifetime
