Democrats have secured control of the US Senate after their candidate, John Ousov, won the second seat in Georgia, beating Republican David Purdue, according to the Edison Research Center and US television stations.
The Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock - a pastor in the church where Martin Luther King Jr.was preaching - also announced his victory over the current Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler, becoming the first black senator in the history of the state located in the heart of the American South.
The Democrats will have 50 seats in the Senate, the same number as the Republicans, but the constitution stipulates that incoming Vice President Kamala Harris will have the final say when voting, tilting the wheel in favor of the Democrats.
Winning these two seats guarantees the majority of the Democrats in the Senate, after they were secured by the majority in the House of Representatives, which gives President-elect Joe Biden all the requirements of power to implement his program.
John Usoff, 33, won the second seat in the Senate for Georgia, ahead with about 25,000 votes after counting 98% of the cards, according to US television stations.
For his part, the Edison Research Center said that Democrat John Ossof defeated Republican David Brdo, as the former won 50.3% of the vote compared to his opponent's 49.7%, after counting 98% of the vote.
The difference pushed USOF to avoid a possible recount, and the center expected its lead would continue to make a bigger difference over its competitor.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, confirmed the victory of the two candidates, and said that the United States will have a Senate and House of Representatives led by the Democratic Party and work with Biden.
The elections gained great importance in light of the division in the country, and it also broke records in the number of voters who participated in early voting, and in the size of spending on the election campaign.
Earlier Wednesday, before supporters of President Donald Trump stormed Congress, Joe Biden announced that he had called John Usoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock to congratulate them and to pay tribute to Georgia's voters who "passed a resounding message" in his opinion.
