WASHINGTON - Democrats vowed Wednesday to rush $2,000 checks to Americans as quickly as possible as they cinched unified control of Washington with Senate wins in Georgia.
The move would make good on promises President-elect Joe Biden made to Georgia voters in the final days of the runoff race, which ended Tuesday with Democrat Raphael Warnock beating Republican Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Jon Ossoff unseating Republican David Perdue, whose term lapsed Sunday.
Those Democratic victories flipped control of the Senate to the Democrats, giving them a monopoly on power in the nation s capital for the first time since Barack Obama s first term.

Republicans Pin Blame on Trump s Rhetoric for Poor Performance in Georgia Senate Races
On 1/6/21 at 12:53 PM EST
Donald Trump has only himself to blame for shooting the entire Grand Old Party in the foot.
That was the message from some members of the outgoing president s own party on Wednesday in the wake of poor performances in two Senate runoff elections Tuesday night in the once ruby red state of Georgia that will determine control of the upper chamber. Well, it turns out that telling the voters that the election is rigged is not a great way to turn out your voters, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said. President Trump has disrespected the American voters, has dishonored the election system and has disgraced the office of the presidency.
