We will have to wait a little longer to have a result of the midterms in Georgia.
The US state will have to vote again in December to appoint one of its two senators to Congress after none of the candidates reached the 50% mark on Tuesday, several US media reported on Wednesday, including CNN and NBC.
The incumbent senator, Democrat Raphael Warnock, will again face Republican Herschel Walker on December 6 in a ballot without a third candidate this time, which could prove decisive in determining the majority in the upper house of Congress.
Before becoming a senator from Georgia in 2021, Raphael Warnock, 53, was a pastor who gave his sermons from the pulpit of the Atlanta church where Martin Luther King officiated.
He was elected against outgoing Senator Kelly Loeffler, supported by Donald Trump, and thus became the first black elected to the Senate to represent Georgia, a southern state with a heavy segregationist past.
Herschel Walker, 60, entered politics late in life with his candidacy for the Senate, which received the blessing of Donald Trump.
With several records to his credit, the former athlete - also African-American - is considered one of the best players in the history of American college football.
