Following Georgia s U.S. Senate elections, a Democrat-controlled Congress will gear up to consider President-elect Joe Biden s nominees to lead key agencies and develop additional coronavirus relief legislation that could include clean energy provisions.
But Democrats razor-thin majority in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives will require them to find common ground with the GOP, sources said.
Georgia Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff defeated Republican incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in Jan. 5 runoff elections. As a result, the Senate will be divided 50/50 between the Republican and Democratic caucuses, with Democratic Vice President-elect Kamala Harris able to cast a tie-breaking vote once she and Biden are sworn in Jan. 20.
