As Voting Starts in Georgia, Gun Groups Rally for Senate Race With control of the U.S. Senate on the line in January, national attention has turned to the Peachtree State, and groups on both sides of the gun rights debate are pouring on the pressure. The nominally pro-gun Republican party has controlled the Senate for six years and when the smoke cleared on last month s national election still maintained 50 seats. This left Democrats and those who caucus with them holding 48 seats with two remaining races headed to a January run-off. Those seats, currently held by Georgia Republicans who didn t secure enough of a lead to clinch the election, could swing polarity of the chamber to the Dems if they were to pick them up, with a potential Vice President Kamala Harris able to cast tie-breaking votes once in office. That, coupled with Democrat control of the House of Representatives, would lead to single-party control of the federal government.
