Warnock wins and Ossoff leads in Georgia Senate races, making Black and Jewish history at a pivotal moment for America - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
At midnight Tuesday, Raphael Warnock led Kelly Loeffler by 35,000 votes and David Perdue led Jon Ossoff by 1,900 votes.

Raphael Warnock, the senior pastor at the Atlanta church made famous by Martin Luther King, was declared the winner of his race early Thursday morning, beating out Kelly Loeffler. Jon Ossoff, a 33-year-old Jewish documentarian who was mentored by the late civil rights icon John Lewis, held a narrow lead over incumbent David Purdue.

I really didn't think that highly about Georgia actually, I knew they grew peaches/peanuts, but that was about it.
They did give us Jimmy Carter though, a man that I greatly admire & these guy's, which I love, so deep down inside I knew they were OK.
Now, after going from the Dark Side & rejecting Trump/Loeffler/Purdue I love them.
I think I might actually buy some peaches & celebrate

100% correct. It was self-suppression that tilted the scales in our direction. Who knows what 45 is thinking, but he may have meant for this to happen. There is nothing he could have done that would fuck with Mitch more.
