ATLANTA Democrats have swept both seats in Georgia’s critical runoff elections, NBC News projects, giving the party control of the Senate and removing a major roadblock for President-elect Joe Biden.
Democrat Jon Ossoff defeated Republican David Perdue in Tuesday’s election, NBC News projected Wednesday afternoon, while the network earlier called Georgia’s other race for Democrat Raphael Warnock over GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler.

Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., remained in charge.

Without a doubt, 2020 has been one of the worst years in recent memory. It has been a legacy of disease, economic stagnation, ebbing and flowing lockdowns, loss of individual freedom, and the defeat of a president who did so much to Make America Great Again. While we don’t know what 2021 has in store for any of us, there is one way to ensure that the year gets off to a good start: keeping a Republican majority in the Senate with two victories in the Georgia runoff election necessitated by no Senate candidate getting more than 50% of the vote in the November elections
SEATTLE, Washington – U.S. aid programs to the Northern Triangle have proven to be remarkably effective at addressing economic and social problems in the region. They allow more Central American families to safely thrive in their home countries. Fleeing violence and poverty is one of the foremost driving factors of immigration to the United States from the Northern Triangle, a turbulent region of Central America that includes Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
In Guatemala and Honduras, about half the population, roughly 8,957,784 people in Guatemala and an additional 4,952,303 people in Honduras, lives in poverty. Furthermore, 60% of Guatemala suffers from food insecurity. Meanwhile, only 29% of the population in El Salvador were living in poverty in 2017. The nation struggles with high levels of public debt, which makes up 70.7% of its GDP.
