Jon Ossoff

Following investigations into lawmakers who made lucrative trades at the beginning of the pandemic, Sen. Ossoff has introduced the Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act in the Senate.

A Democratic majority, even a thin one, allows the party to set the chamber's legislative agenda and makes it easier to confirm President Biden's Cabinet picks.

Even though both parties ran unified campaigns, nearly 20,000 Georgians appear to have split their votes in the two races, between Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican David Perdue.

He defeated Republican David Perdue in a closely watched race, according to The Associated Press.

Raphael Warnock defeated Sen. Kelly Loeffler, and Jon Ossoff beat David Perdue, according to the AP. The Senate will be split 50-50, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris having a tiebreaking vote.

Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler, according to the Associated Press. If Democrat Jon Ossoff defeats Republican David Perdue, control of the Senate will flip.

The president-elect on Monday asked Georgians to support the two Democratic candidates in the race that will determine control of the Senate.

If Democrats pick up both seats in Tuesday's Georgia runoff elections, they will wrest control of the U.S. Senate from Republicans. If Republicans win one, though, they will retain it.

President Trump heads to Georgia today, a state where he's claimed widespread election fraud. He's trying to convince voters to send Republicans to the U.S. Senate to keep control of the chamber.

State Republican election officials say that there's no evidence of any widespread fraud and that these conspiracy theories are "crazy" and like a game of "whack-a-mole."
