Democrat Jon Ossoff was declared the projected winner of his U.S. Senate runoff race in the Southern state of Georgia on Wednesday afternoon by The Associated Press. He joins the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who was declared the winner of his Senate race, also in Georgia, earlier Wednesday, giving their Democratic Party control of the U.S. Senate. The Democrats already control the House of Representatives, albeit by a narrower margin than two years ago. Ossoff becomes the first Jewish senator from Georgia, a former Confederate state. At 33, he will be the youngest sitting U.S. senator.
