These Senate Races Could Determine The Next Decade Of American History

 

     With the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives maintained and Joe Biden in the White House, a special election in Georgia scheduled for January 5th, 2021 could determine the fate of COVID relief, racial justice, LGBT2SQIA+ rights, economic recovery, and environmental protection. The Senate is currently divided 50-48, leaning in favor of the Republicans. If Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff were to win, the 50-50 split would allow for milestone legislation to pass, with Kamala Harris breaking the tie.

     The fact that David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are still in power is insane. Raphael Warnock has given his life to the church, and Jon Ossoff has made a massive impact in investigative journalism in Africa and the Middle East. The incumbents, on the other hand, neglected to tell their constituents of the severity of coronavirus as they shifted investments to protect their portfolios. Well-placed priorities, GOP. Maybe old, but definitely not grand.

     May the efforts of Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and Stacey Abrams pay off, and may the people of Georgia make the right decision for themselves and the nation.
