Americans are yet again going to bed unsure of who will win a major election.
As of late Tuesday night, the margins in the two Georgia Senate runoff races are razor-thin as more and more votes are reported, with races seesawing between the Republican and Democrat candidates.
Republican David Perdue, whose Senate term expired Sunday but can still win reelection, was in a dead heat with Democrat challenger Jon Ossoff Tuesday with about 95% of votes in. Meanwhile, Democrat Raphael Warnock narrowly led Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga.

“Our first task [is that] we’ve got to defeat the worst president in modern history in this country, and No. 2, we organize our people to make sure that Biden becomes the most progressive president since FDR,” said Bernie Sanders, the man Biden bested for the Democratic nomination and a top Ocasio-Cortez ally.
If personnel is policy, as the saying in Washington goes, the most doctrinaire progressives in the Democratic Party have to be getting a little concerned. While no one would confuse Biden’s incoming administration with President Trump’s, centrist and establishment Democrats have taken the lion’s share of the announced Cabinet and White House staff positions.
