With 65% of the expected votes counted, Republican incumbent Perdue fights back, as the result appears evenly split.
Perdue (R) 50.3%, Ossoff 49.7%
Warnock(D) 50.2%, Loeffler 49.8%
Justifying the narrowing Dems’ lead, Senior Congressional Correspondent at CNN, Manu Raju explains, “80 percent of the current vote that’s been counted is the early vote, and that’s expected to slip to 72% by the end of the night, per David Chalian, a reason why the Dems’ lead is slipping right now in Georgia.”
However, the NYT needles continue to root for Democrats in the dual run-offs.
