Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated Republican challenger Herschel Walker in a Georgia runoff election Tuesday, ensuring Democrats an outright majority in the Senate for the rest of President Joe Biden’s term and helping cap an underwhelming midterm cycle for the GOP in the last major vote of the year.
With Warnock’s second runoff victory in as many years, Democrats will have a 51-49 Senate majority, gaining a seat from the current 50-50 split with John Fetterman’s victory in Pennsylvania. There will be divided government, however, with Republicans having narrowly flipped House control.
In last month’s election, Warnock led Walker by 37,000 votes out of almost 4 million cast but fell short of the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff. Walker, a football legend who first gained fame at the University of Georgia and later in the NFL in the 1980s,...

One of the most important dates on this year’s political calendar may just be Nov. 26.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving will bring with it a 128-year-old rivalry, a football game between the University of Georgia Bulldogs, and the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (or, as the rivalry is referred to locally, “Clean Old-Fashioned Hate”).
The football game will air nationally on ESPN, and viewers outside of Georgia may get a taste of what residents of the state have been seeing on their TVs in recent months.
On Dec. 6, just a week and a half after the game, Georgia will host a runoff election for a U.S. Senate seat, with incumbent Raphael Warnock and challenger Herschel Walker (who played for the Georgia Bulldogs from 1980 to 1982) facing off.
An ESPN source says that “there is significant interest from both candidates in the Georgia runoff election, as well as [from] the PACs,...

It’s déjà vu in the Peach State.
Just like in 2021, the Georgia Senate race is headed for a runoff that could decide who controls the upper chamber.
With neither incumbent Raphael Warnock nor Republican challenger Herschel Walker topping 50 of the vote in the state, the duo will face off again December 6. The runoff is a result of Georgia state law that demands a winning candidate garner more than 50 of the vote. Presently, Warnock has pulled in 49.4 to Walker’s 48.5 with 96 of the vote tallied, according to the AP.
After a long night Tuesday of counting votes in the increasingly purple state, CNN, NBC and various networks and outlets this morning projected an inevitable runoff.
Gabriel Sterling, COO of the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, told CNN on Wednesday morning “the clock’s already up in our office, we’re 27 days and six hours away from polls closing on the runoff election day.

Days before the midterm elections, Americans concerned about alleged voter suppression efforts in Georgia and other states will get the chance to see a documentary that puts the issue into sharp relief.
Vigilante: Georgia’s Vote Suppression Hitman, directed by David Ambrose and featuring the reporting of investigative journalist Greg Palast, will screen for free for 24 hours beginning Wednesday, November 2, on the Show and Tell documentary film platform.
“We’re having a national impact showing. This was at the specific request of Rev. Jesse Jackson,” Palast tells Deadline, “and Latosha Brown of Black Voters Matter, who said, ‘Look, this is not just a Georgia film. We’ve got to get this out nationally.’”

The franchise title has topped the £1m mark from its opening day.
Universal’s Fast & Furious 9 leads the new titles at the UK-Ireland box office this weekend, having recorded the highest takings for a weekday since before the Covid-19 pandemic on its Thursday 24 opening.
The film has brought in £1.2m already, and is playing in 597 locations from today.
As of last weekend, the highest-grossing title since cinemas were allowed to reopen in the UK on May 17 was Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway with £15.3m. While an opening weekend of that amount would be an extraordinary result with 50% audience caps still in place,...

As the nation’s attention was fixated on the chaos at the Capitol, several networks called the remaining Senate race in Georgia for Jon Ossoff, giving Democrats control of the chamber.
NBC News, CBS News and ABC News made the projection just as Joe Biden was addressing the unrest at the Capitol, in which supporters of Donald Trump stormed the complex, broke windows, roamed through the halls and parked themselves on the floor of the Senate chamber.
Ossoff, 33, is the youngest Democrat elected to the Senate since Joe Biden in 1972.
More to come.
