Heartbreaking ending on the Georgia ballot for the Senate: With 97% of the votes counted, he goes head-to-head (50% to 50%) between Dem Jon Ossoff and Republican David Perdue while his party partner Raphael Warnock claimed victory in one of two Georgia ballots for the Senate, when he led with 50.4% of outgoing Senator Kelly Loeffler (49.6%) with 97% of the ballots counted, “Georgia, I I am honored by the trust you have shown in me, Andro ‘in the Senate to work for all Georgians, “said the Reverend. If his victory is confirmed, he would be Georgia’s first African-American Senator. Stacey Abrams, Democratic leader in Georgia, celebrated the Rev. Raphael Warnock as the new senator, although the race is still too close to declare the winner. “Congratulations to our next US senator,” he tweeted.
Meanwhile, Mike Pence told Donald Trump that he does not believe he has the power to block the certification of Joe Biden’s victory by Congress, which meets in plenary session today under his presidency. The New York Times writes it citing sources familiar with the interview. The vice president delivered his message during lunch with the president, hours after Trump tweeted that Pence “has the power to reject fraudulently elected voters.” One of the options considered, according to the NYT reconstruction, is for Pence to acknowledge in some way the allegations of electoral fraud by the president during one or more of the debates in the Senate on the results of some states before the certification of the votes of the electoral College. But any concession would not change the end result. Pence’s allies predict that he will fulfill his constitutional duties. In the event that for some reason he is unable or unwilling to do so, his role would be assumed by Republican Senator Charles Gassley, the longest-serving member.
