Yes, Jan. 6 the day that a white supremacist mob overran the U.S. Capitol, ending in the loss of at least five lives was a horror show, and one that will very likely not be soon over.
But the day’s nightmare also eclipsed two very good pieces of news, namely that Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock both won their Georgia races for the U.S. Senate. Warnock made history as the first Black Georgian elected to the Senate. That means that President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris take office Jan. 20 with (admittedly narrow) Democratic majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
