Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock won reelection in the Peach State’s runoff election, giving Democrats an actual Senate majority in the next Congress.
Warnock was leading Republican challenger Herschel Walker by less than 1 percent when The Associated Press called the race at 10:26 p.m.
“After a hard fought campaign, or should I say campaigns, it is my honor to utter the four most powerful words ever spoken in a democracy: the people have spoken,” Warnock told supporters about an hour later.
