With Ossoff winning his election, and Warnock having a 7-point lead with 90% reporting, it's looking very likely that both Warnock and Ossoff are going to win. Meanwhile, Biden is now projected to win Georgia by about 15,000 votes. <br><br>This brings the Senate to 49/50/1 with the final seat to be determined by both Warnock and Ossoff. Whether we end up with a 50/50/1 tie Democratic Senate, or a 51/50 Republican Senate, or a 51/49 Democratic Senate, it's now very likely that Biden will win the presidential election. <br><br>For the past four years, there has been a Republican Administration and a Republican Senate and House. Then, there was a Republican Administration and a Republican Senate and a Democratic House. <br><br>If Warnock and Ossoff both win, then we will have the first Democratic Administration with a Democratic Senate and House since 2009. <br><br>On the other hand, if one or both of Warnock and Ossoff lose, then we will have the first divided Congress since 2001-2002. <br><br>This is extremely historic. Literally, once in a century stuff. <br><br>Edit: 1:20AM EST, Warnock has been officially declared the winner. The only question remaining is whether the Senate will be 50/50/1, or 51/49 Democratic.
