Democrats dare to hope they can capture the Senate after runoffs confirmed in Georgia's races

Democrats dare to hope they can capture the Senate after runoffs confirmed in Georgia's racesDemocrats were daring to believe they could take the US Senate after it was confirmed that two tight races in Georgia were headed to a runoff in January. The confirmation of a re-run for the state's two senate seats means the country is set for a second bruising election race with national significance in a matter of weeks. The races will determine the balance of power in the US Senate, and ultimately the success of Joe Biden's presidency given the chamber has the power to approve or veto his cabinet nominees and legislation. The runoffs will see Republican senator Kelly Loeffler face Democrat Raphael Warnock, a black pastor at the church where Martin Luther King Jr preached. In the second Georgia race, Republican senator David Perdue will face Democrat Jon Ossoff, a 33-year-old media executive.
