Georgia's A Sweep: Sen.-Elect John Ossoff Declares Victory

By Susie Madrak — January 6, 2021

UPDATE: Decision Desk HQ has called the race for Jon Ossoff, ahd he's ahead right now by about 16,000 votes. And honestly, there aren't any plausible scenarios left for a Perdue win, other than a meteor hitting the planet.

So that's it. With VP Kamala Harris, we have control of the Senate, the House, and the White House. Hallelujah.
