On January 5, 2021, Georgia will hold a special election with two run-off races for the two U.S. Senate seats held by that state.

Democratic candidates for Senate Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff will face off against their Republican opponents that will determine the crucial balance of power in the U.S. Senate.

As it stands today, there are 50 Republican senators to 48 Democratic and/or Independent senators (Independent Senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine caucus with the Democrats).

If Warnock and Ossoff win, the Democratic Party will gain control of the Senate, as Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris is by law the deciding vote in the event any 50-50 tie happens in that legislative chamber.

To get Mitch McConnell out of the Majority Leader position, it is crucial that both Democratic candidates from Georgia win their difficult run-off races.

People who want to see the above result but don’t live or vote in Georgia, there are still plenty of ways to help!
