Georgia Senate Race Likely Headed to Runoff

The contest between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) and challenger Herschel Walker (R) for a US Senate seat in Georgia remained too close to call early Wednesday, making a Dec. 6 runoff increasingly likely, Bloomberg reports.

Atlanta Journal Constitution: “Several factors explain why Warnock outperformed the rest of the statewide Democratic ticket. Walker’s history of misstatements, violence against his ex-wife and controversy over abortion kept some GOP voters away.”

“But Warnock’s Biden-free, more moderate campaign, also helped make him a viable alternative to those potential swing voters. A more than $70 million cash advantage over Walker helped, too.”
