When Georgia Republican Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Raphael Warnock advanced to the January 5 US Senate runoff, they faced the immediate challenge of winning over the two million voters who chose one of the 18 other candidates in November’s election.
Polls show they have largely succeeded, and that could give Loeffler, the incumbent, a small advantage.
Republican US Representative Doug Collins came in third in the November vote that ended with the Republican candidates winning 48,000 more votes than the Democratic candidates.
In Georgia’s second runoff election, Republican US Senator David Perdue started with an even wider lead, having won 88,000 more votes in November than Democrat Jon Ossoff. Since he did not get a majority, however, Perdue was forced into a runoff. The turnout could be the deciding factor.
Turnout likely to be key in Georgia runoff election
