Georgia is in for a nightmare of election ads in the next month as it looks like Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock, and Republican challenger Herschel Walker will likely head to a runoff election. Expect a lot of money to pour into the Peach State as this runoff could potentially dictate the fate of the U.S. Senate.

At the time if this reporting, Warnock and Walker were practically in a dead heat. Each has garnered about 49% of the votes cast. In the state of Georgia, a candidate needs more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff. It looks like Libertarian Chase Oliver appeared to play the spoiler, picking up roughly 2% of the votes.
Voters will return on Dec. 6 to decide the race for good.
BREAKING: The Georgia Senate race between Warnock and Walker is now officially a runoff.

Two years ago, the leftist preacher Warnock defeated Republican incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler in a runoff.
Many political pundits through out the night of the election pointed the Warnock/Walker race as proof that Georgia’s electorate is shifting and turning Blue.
On Tuesday, incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp achieved a decisive victory over Democrat Stacey Abrams in a closely watched rematch of the 2018 gubernatorial election.
