Before the decisive turn of the two senatorial elections in Georgia on January 5, the 50-48 position in the House is in favor of the Republicans. Republicans must win at least one of the elections to maintain control of the Senate.
One electoral showdown is between Republican and businessman David Perdue, who has been a senator since 2015, and Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff. Perdue, among other things, has been a director of Reebok and Dollar General. Ossoff has been an investigative reporter and security adviser to House Representative Hank Johnson.
According to the latest opinion poll (from Fox News and Insider Advantage) there is a deadlock between Perdue and Ossoff, they have 49 percent support each.
The second duel is between Republican businesswoman Kelly Loeffler, whom Georgia Governor Brian Kemp appointed a year ago as a replacement for Senator Johnny Isakson (who resigned for health reasons), and local pastor and politician Raphael Warnock. Loeffler has served as CEO of Bakkt finance company, whose parent company is owned by her husband, and is a partner in the Atlanta Dream basketball team. Warnock has worked to expand the state Medicaid health insurance program, under the ACA Health Insurance Act (also called Obamacare), and is pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
According to the latest opinion poll (from Fox News and Insider Advantage), Warnock has a minimum advantage of one percentage point, 49 percent against Loeffler’s 48 percent.
