The other we're covering today concerns U.S. Senate results from the state of Georgia. It looks like Democrats have won both of the Senate races there. On Tuesday night, as results came in, cnn and other media organizations projected that Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock defeated incumbent Republican Senate candidate Kelly Loeffler.
Yesterday, with 98 percent of the results in from the Peach State, Reverend Warnock had received 50.8 percent of the vote, while Senator Loffler had received 49.2 percent. So a very thin margin between these two candidates and it was even thinner in Georgia's other Senate race.
As of yesterday evening, Democratic Senate challenger Jon Ossoff had gotten 50.4 percent of the vote while Republican Senate incumbent David Perdue had gotten 49.6 percent. But enough of the votes were in for cnn and other media organizations to project that Ossoff had won that race.

Based on results from the November 3rd presidential election, the two Democrats projected victories give their party 50 seats in the 100-member Senate to match the 50 seats held by Republicans. But analysts say that effectively gives the Democrats control of the Senate because any votes that split 50-50 will have the tie broken by the vice president and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is a Democrat.
So if these results are all certified, Democrats will control the House of Representatives, the Senate and the White House, and that will make it easier for them to pass the laws they want without having to compromise with a Republican-led Senate.
President-elect Biden has said his first priority will be to decrease the spread and death rate from COVID-19, and that's a challenge leaders are facing around the world.
