US:Democrats win Georgia runoff election

In US,the first black Senator has been elected from Georgia. Democrat Raphael Warnock has defeated Republican Kelly Loeffler in one of two Georgia Senate runoffs. Warnock, senior pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, will be Georgia's first Black Senator. In the decisive battle for the US Senate control, Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated incumbent Kelly Loeffler by more than 40,000 votes and Jon Ossoff, the other Democrat, led David Perdue, the sitting Republican senator, by over 3,600.

Democrats will wrest control of the Senate from Republicans and complete a trifecta, with the House of Representatives and the White House already in the bag, starting January 20. With both chambers of Congress in Democratic control, President-elect Joe Biden will have an easier time pursuing his legislative agenda. And the Senate win, on its own, will allow his nominees to be confirmed easily, especially those that Republicans were threatening to block. Ossoff, a journalist and documentary filmmaker, will be the first Jewish senator from Georgia.
