GA Senate Run-Off Election Results Coming In

Me too. Tomorrow will be a long day!

Hopefully the high of two wins will help you float through the day!!

I’ve enjoyed watching the results and the running commentary from my fellow political Peas!

Ossoff by 9000!!!!!!!

I think it actually might happen!!!!!!

Recipient of Medal of Freedom!!

I want to declare her Queen of the World! 

I’ve been watching off and on all through the night here across the pond 🥺 I’m now at a hospital appointment with my son feeling like I need matchsticks in my eyes 😬

Prayers that the Dems prevail . There has to be the start of the end of this madness and time to heal 🙏

Yes! 

And yet at every chance she gets she talks about the other organizers, all the people who got out to register voters, everyone else who contributed...etc. But that is the mark of a good leader -- one who can motivate and encourage everyone else to accomplish a goal.

From what I understand it goes something like this:


Republicans hold 50 of the 100 seats in the US Senate, while the Democrats have 48, including two independents, who usually vote with the democrats.

If the Democrats win these two seats, the Senate will see a 50-50 tie, where the deciding vote for anything that needs to be passed will be cast by the Vice President,  Kamala Harris who is a Democrat. That means that the democrats have " control" of the Senate. In reality this gives them more power to get any legislations through. They need those two seats though otherwise it will still be controlled by the republicans as a 49-51 Senate to the republicans.

The democrats it seems, according to some reports, have already gained one of the seats, the second is still in the balance reading some of the latest reports. I don't think all the votes have been counted yet or at least not enough of a margin to make the lead relevant at this stage.

And don't forget the other FANTASTIC result -- Weasel Mitch loses his job as Majority Leader!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

SO NOT SORRY! 

He who said years ago that his only goal was going to be to block everything that President Obama proposed. 


  

Thanks...yes, I just about understood that. What I'm hoping is that someone will announce the actual end result when it happens because all the possibilities and maybes are confusing!! 

I have to say I'm really surprised by this outcome. I had not even followed these races that closely since runoffs almost always favor Republicans due to in person turnout. An amazing job by Stacey Abrams and whoever else is leading the get-out-the-vote effort in Georgia.

The biggest win for me is the possibility of McConnell being relieved of his duties as Majority Leader. That's almost as good as getting rid of Trump. Not everything the House sends to the Senate should be approved but it should at least be considered. McConnell has made the personal decision to kill most of the legislation sent to him, abusing his extraordinary power.

I love the smell of karma kicking republican asses in the morning!
