In addition to Bidens win in the election, the Democratic party also wins control of the US Senate!
In the Georgia Senate runoffs, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock made a narrow win. They both defeated Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, who were both seeking reelection. The win of Warnock is actually a notable one. After his win, pro-NBA player Lebron James made tweets about owning the Atlanta WBNA Dream team.
The Georgia senate elections was a tight one. Moreover, the Georgia run-offs victory caused a 50-50 split in the house. In addition, this is the 4th time in history this happened! In other words, Democrats will take control of the upper chamber with VP-elect Harris as the tie-breaker.
Fun Facts About the Georgia Win

I called Reverend Warnock and Jon Ossoff this morning to congratulate them on their hard-fought campaigns. Georgia voters delivered a resounding message yesterday: they want action on the crises we face and they want it right now. Together, we’ll get it done.
