Jon Ossoff is advancing to a runoff election in Georgia, scheduled for early January. Candidates need over 50% of the vote to win. The Libertarian candidate's votes prevented a majority for either major party candidate. This is the second Senate race in Georgia heading to a runoff, offering Democrats a chance to flip the Senate. Raphael Warnock also leads in a special election runoff. If Democrats win both seats, the Senate will be split 50-50, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking vote, favoring Democrats.
