Daily Beast: Democrat Jon Ossoff has declared victory over Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) in a down-to-the-wire Georgia run-off that is still too close to call. Despite Ossoff’s declaration, Perdue has still not conceded, and his campaign team issued a statement early Wednesday calling for “time and transparency.”



In a video posted to his social-media pages, Ossoff said: “It is with humility that I thank the people of Georgia for electing me to serve you in the United States Senate. Thank you for the confidence and trust that you’ve placed in me.”

The latest Associated Press figures from the count showed Ossoff just over 16,000 votes ahead of Purdue with 98 percent of estimated votes reported, meaning it’s still too close for observers to call. If Ossoff does win, the Democrats will effectively control the chamber, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris serving as a tie-breaking vote.

Raphael Warnock on His Stunning Senate Victory: Dr. King Is Smiling

‘I’M VERY PROUD’

CNN

Daily Beast: Hours after his stunning runoff victory was called, Raphael Warnock has given an emotional interview to CNN, saying that his win over Sen. Kelly Loeffler is the result of a decade of hard work. Warnock will become Georgia’s first Black U.S. senator, and his victory puts Democrats within one seat of gaining control of the Senate.

Warnock told CNN Wednesday morning: “I’m very proud of Georgia right now… That we are sending an African American man, the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church where Martin Luther King, Jr. served and John Lewis worshipped, and Jon Ossoff, a young Jewish man, the son of an immigrant, mentored by John Lewis, to the United States Senate in this moment in which, for years now, we’ve seen the emergence of those forces that would seek to divide us, we now represent the state of Georgia.

I think Abraham Joshua Heschel, the Rabbi who said, when he marched with Dr. King, he felt like his legs were praying, I think he and Dr. King are smiling in this moment.”

Gordon, history was made last night.

We’re officially sending Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to represent Georgia in Congress, securing the last two seats we needed to flip the Senate and end Mitch McConnell’s reign as Majority Leader.

Every member of this movement should feel an incredible sense of pride. In the days and weeks following the November election, our team of volunteers sprung into action — texting and calling voters in Georgia we identified as veteran or military families, having important conversations about issues that matter to our communities and making sure they knew where and how to vote in these runoff elections.

Our organizing program — fueled by grassroots donations big and small from emails just like this one — was a critical piece of the historic puzzle that helped to deliver these victories.

Our work is not over. In many ways, it’s just beginning. Today our newly inaugurated Congress will vote to certify the 2020 election results. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and their teams will get to work planning for their inaugurations and more importantly, how they will begin to lead us out of the darkness of the last four years.

Donald Trump posed a unique threat to everything we stand for, and at every turn we were there — holding him accountable, fighting for our values, defending our country, sharing our stories, and lifting each other up.

Now, with Democratic control of the House, Senate, and White House, we can finally get to the important work of addressing the COVID-19 crisis responsibly, ensuring veterans and military families have access to the health care and benefits they deserve for their service, and fighting for a better future for all.

  1. Now, we Democrats have to get work shepherding the Neoliberal warlords of Our Party toward Humanism.
    ( Apology to Dr. Barrett )

  2. Tommy, Nimitz left the pond. Two years ago the IRGC thanked the US for bringing their big toys to play.
    I hope you’re not one of those people like Brian Hook who thinks of the Iranian missiles that everyone is sweating over, as made up by cardboards. I’m just saying this because 40 years of brainwashing has an effect on anyone out of Iran, no matter how enlightened they are.

  3. Yes, the Trump experiment, fascism and fantasy….was doomed to fail if America could stand on its feet again against Russian and Israeli oligarchs

  4. Are you implying that Trump will now have to retain power by “other” means? Couldn’t agree with you more.

  5. Thank you, Georgia! Minority leader McConnell sounds good, doesn’t it? Now, if we can only breeze through the next two weeks without that vindictive psychopath starting World War III.

    • This will only push a desperate Trump (and a desperate Israel) to do something awful before January 20th. May Heaven help the crew of the USS Nimitz.
