The Democratic candidate, Raphael Warnock won over the swing state of Georgia, with a 2.7% lead, effectively defeating the Republican candidate and former football star, Herschel Walker. This win marks the end of the 2022 Midterm elections, as Georgia’s runoff election was the final vote needed to determine which party would hold the Senate majority. With Senator Warnock representing Georgia as a Democrat, his victory is in turn a victory for his party as a whole. Warnock’s win gave the Democrats the 52-49 Senate majority that they needed in order to no longer rely on vice president, Kamala Harris, for her tie-breaking votes.
