Binghamton University professor reacts to Georgia runoff election results
BINGHAMTON (WBNG) Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff have defeated incumbent Republican senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in Georgia s runoff senate election.
Jonathan Krasno, Professor of Political Science at Binghamton University, referred to the election as a coin flip, explaining that prior to results, he thought it could go either way.
Krasno said, initially, there was a sense that Republicans were at an advantage for the runoff.
Yet, with how the evening played out, Krasno said a lot ended up being attributed with voter turnout, margins, grassroots organizations, and a change in coalitions.
