Raphael Warnock May Become 11th Black Senator in Georgia Cliffhanger Shaped by Trump
On 1/6/21 at 12:31 AM EST
Democrat Reverend Raphael Warnock, a first-time political candidate, is currently poised to defeat incumbent Republican Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler in Georgia s special election.
Warnock and Loeffler went head to head in the special election after neither candidate obtained over 50 percent of the vote in the November election. Both President-elect Joe Biden and President Donald Trump campaigned for their party s candidates in the days leading up to the election. Trump has criticized the election process in Georgia, baselessly claiming that widespread voter fraud in the state helped Biden win.

Democratic Georgia Senate candidate Jon Ossoff dodged a challenge from CNN anchor Jake Tapper during a Sunday morning appearance on “State of the Union.”
Tapper disputed Ossoff’s repeated claims that Republican Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler who is running against Democratic challenger Rev. Raphael Warnock had “campaigned with a Klansman.”
WATCH:
Tapper began by noting that Ossoff’s claim had been refuted by Loeffler’s campaign, saying that while a known white supremacist had taken a photo with her at a campaign event, Loeffler had been unaware of his identity at the time and had condemned him as soon as she learned who he was.
