KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— In a highly unusual situation, both of Georgia’s Senate seats will be on the ballot next month — one seat was already scheduled to be elected, while the other is a special election.
— As January’s result will decide control of the Senate, both sides are invested in Georgia’s outcome.
— In the regular election, Democrat Jon Ossoff made some gains in the suburbs since he was last on the ballot, but to beat Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), he’ll likely have to do even better.
