The final vote in southern Georgia, which determines the whereabouts of the U.S. Senate's initiative, ensures that the Democratic candidate wins with one seat, and the remaining one seat is a close battle with both democratic and republican candidates' voter turnout. I will.
With the focus on who will win this seat, President-elect Biden hoped that the Democratic Party would take the lead in parliament.
In Georgia, on the 5th, a two-seat final vote was held for which the result was undecided in the election of the US Senate last November, and the ballot counting work continues on the 6th.
Major media outlets such as ABC Television reported in one of the seats that Democratic rookie candidate Stephen Warnock had defeated the Republican incumbent to ensure his election.
In addition, the remaining one seat has an estimated vote counting rate of 98% as of 3:00 am on the 7th of Japan time, and although Mr. Osov, a new candidate for the Democratic Party, exceeds the current position of the Republican Party by about 17,000 votes, the voter turnout of both candidates Is a close battle with 50%.
If the Democratic Party candidate wins this seat, the power of both parties in the Senate will be the same as 50 seats, and the Democratic Party will become a de facto majority because the next Vice President Harris will also serve as the chairman of the Senate. You will take the initiative.
Under these circumstances, President-elect Biden will take the initiative in the Senate, saying in a statement on the 6th, "I congratulate Mr. Warnock on his groundbreaking victory. I expect Mr. Osov to win when the tally is completed." I showed my expectations.
