Democrats exulted Wednesday in Sen. Raphael Warnock’s Georgia runoff victory over Republican Herschel Walker, as a divided GOP grappled with what went wrong in the Peach State. 

Warnock’s win gives Democrats a 51-49 majority in the Senate beginning in January. The slight advantage paves the way for Dems to take full control of committees, easing the approval process for President Biden’s judicial and administrative nominees.

U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock fended off a challenge from Republican Herschel Walker to win a full six-year term that broadens the Democratic majority in the chamber after a turbulent runoff campaign that sharpened partisan divides in one of the nation’s most politically competitive states.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) was projected to win Georgia’s Senate runoff on Tuesday, sending him to the upper chamber for a full term and handing his party a crucial extra seat in the majority.

The Associated Press called the race at 10:26 p.m. ET.

Warnock, who is the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, defeated former professional football player Herschel Walker, who was backed by former President Trump. The race went to a runoff last month after neither candidate was able to garner more than 50 percent of the vote on Election Day.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) won reelection Tuesday, fending off a spirited challenge from Republican Herschel Walker while helping Democrats grow their thin Senate majority in the midterm elections after a bruising four-week runoff campaign.

Georgia voters are heading to the polls one more time to weigh in on the consequential election between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) and Republican Herschel Walker, and all eyes are on key counties in the Peach State to see how they perform.

Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker barnstormed Georgia in a final plea for votes amid signs of growing momentum for the Democratic incumbent — and fading GOP hopes — ahead of Tuesday’s runoff.

Both parties are expecting a close outcome on Tuesday in the closely divided state. After a November election that defied expectations in countless races around the country, a Walker victory is not out of the question.

ABC, CNN and NBC guests and hosts predicted on Sunday that Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., would win the Georgia Senate runoff against Herschel Walker, citing campaign spending and Democratsalready having control of the Senate. 

NBC's Chuck Todd noted that Warnock spent nearly $400 million in the Georgia Senate runoff race in the last two years. He compared it to Mitt Romney spending $400 million in the 2012 presidential race. 

It’s not surprising that Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia, fresh off his re-election victory, would take a field trip to the Adventure Outdoors megastore. Shooting ranges, gunsmithing, machetes, tomahawks, ammo, camo, “over 130 yards of gun counters” with more than 18,000 guns in stock — what red-blooded Southern Republican wouldn’t jump at the chance for a holiday-season visit to this Pole Star of Second Amendment vibes nestled in the Atlanta suburbs?

The single-day early voting turnout Friday in Georgia broke the last record set just days ago in an indication of intense interest in the race for Senate between former football player Herschel Walker and incumbent Raphael Warnock.

Top election official Gabriel Sterling touted the results on Twitter, revealing that 350,574 people had voted as of 8 p.m. Friday.

“That’s just an amazing number. Great job by the counties’ elections officials and voters,” he wrote on Twitter.

Some voters had to wait an hour to cast their ballots.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) holds a narrow 2 percentage point lead over Republican rival Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff, according to a new survey from Emerson College Polling and The Hill.

The poll released on Thursday found that 49 percent of very likely voters surveyed said they would back Warnock, compared to 47 percent who said they would vote for Walker. A separate 4 percent said they were undecided; that polling falls within the margin of error, effectively tying the two candidates.
