Raphael Warnock May Become 11th Black Senator in Georgia Cliffhanger Shaped by Trump
On 1/6/21 at 12:31 AM EST
Democrat Reverend Raphael Warnock, a first-time political candidate, is currently poised to defeat incumbent Republican Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler in Georgia's special election.
Warnock and Loeffler went head to head in the special election after neither candidate obtained over 50 percent of the vote in the November election. Both President-elect Joe Biden and President Donald Trump campaigned for their party's candidates in the days leading up to the election. Trump has criticized the election process in Georgia, baselessly claiming that widespread voter fraud in the state helped Biden win.
