Rev. Raphael Warnock Becomes Georgia’s 1st Black U.S. Senator, Ossoff Appears To Have Won As Well
Source: Michael M. Santiago / Getty Georgia became the epicenter of U.S. politics on Tuesday (Jan. 5) as a pair of runoff elections would help determine which political party would control the U.S. Senate and Congress for at least the next two years.
