Faint hopes growing dim, GOP sources say
From CNN s Ryan Nobles
As CNN reported earlier, Republicans were very concerned about the release of votes in the Democratic stronghold of DeKalb County.
Once those results came in and dramatically swung the race in favor of Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock and also narrowed the gap for Democrat Jon Ossoff, GOP operatives conceded that their path to victory was narrow and starting to vanish.
One Georgia Republican said he believed the outstanding vote was too heavily tilted in favor of the Democrats for either Republican to be able to win.
Another Washington Republican operative said the best hope at this point for the GOP is that Perdue can keep the margin close enough that would allow for a recount, but even that seemed unlikely.
