The results of the Georgia senatorial is a tie as the Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock and contender Republican challenger Herschel Walker is doing the run-off election to decide who is the winner. Such a result, according to the Associated Press last Wednesday, is one of the most dramatic races, with no clear winner.
Senatorial standoff: Warnock vs. Walker
For both parties, the contest is becoming crucial to see if the Dems or GOP will be the primary controller of the 100-member US Senate. To date, the Republican party has 49 seats in the chamber, compared to 48 for the Democrats, reported Anadolu.
There are three races and the Georgia tie that the GOP needs to cement a lead while the Dems are sweating it out.
Incumbent Democratic Warnock and GOP challenger Walker have equal results in the Georgia senatorial that will have its ultimate resolution on December Jan. 6 run-off; one of the candidates, Libertarian Chase Oliver, took 2% of votes.
Who controls the Senate and House of Representatives is still being determined and will be decided soon in their run-off elections.
Georgia Run-Off Will Decide Either Party's Fate
Sen. Ron Johnson was re-elected earlier on Wednesday in Wisconsin but based on the projection from the Associated Press, the contest has been called off for a time after Democrats shifted a vital seat in the Senate in Pennsylvania to win a majority in the chamber.
Although the race for the Pennsylvania seat was nearly equal between Lt. Governor John Fetterman and Republican celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, Fetterman declared his victory early on Wednesday morning.
Shortly after, Oz accepted. Essential contests in Arizona and Nevada still needed to be concluded, citing US News.
Democrats require 50 seats to retain a majority in the Senate, whereas Republicans would still need 51 because their party does not actually hold the White House.
The Senate is headed by the American vice president, who has the power to break ties. In an evenly divided Senate, this has long been standard practice for the governing party of the White House to assume control of the chamber.
As shown by projections, Republicans would therefore take 204 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. However, whichever party needed to win 218 seats to gain a majority, Democrats had also won 176 seats, according to the Associated Press.
The 35 Senate seats that are up for election in the chamber, in addition to the 435 House seats, are another.
This same overwhelming majority of disputed Senate seats, 21 seats, have been retained by Republicans this campaign season. Because all seats in the House are challenged every two years, one-third of all seats in the chamber go to the polls every six years.
Should the GOP win in the House as might be the cause that will throw a monkey wrench in the legislative plan of Joe Biden.
A Republican body will put a stop to the plans of the White House.
They will hinder or prevent many of Biden's nominees for essential higher posts. This includes lifetime appointments for judicial officers that will have a lengthy impact on public life if they obtain the Senate majority.
A tied Georgia Senatorial with Warnock and Walker will go into sudden death in another run-off election.
