It’s official: there will be a runoff election in December.
Neither GOP candidate Herschel Walker nor Dem incumbent Raphael Warnock achieved the necessary 50% of the vote in a senate showdown in Georgia on Tuesday. Now, the two will face off again in a runoff election in December.
According to The Daily Wire, “Decision Desk HQ made the projection at 11:42 a.m. EST. Gabriel Sterling, the Georgia secretary of state’s chief operating officer, said the runoff election will take place on December 6.”
From The Daily Wire:
Warnock, the 53-year-old reverend from Atlanta, Georgia, was first elected to the Senate on January 5, 2021, after defeating GOP candidate Kelly Loeffler in a run-off election. Loeffler had been appointed to serve until an election, having replaced the late Johnny Isakson.
As a newcomer into politics, Walker spent much of his campaign tying Warnock to unpopular President Joe Biden and painted the Democrat as a divisive, out-of-touch progressive.
“Senator Warnock believes America is a bad country full of racist people,” Walker said in one ad. “I believe we’re a great country full of generous people. Warnock wants to divide us. I want to bring us together.”
