Now it is again: on Tuesday, the American election is in its final race. The second round of elections for two seats in the Georgia Senate will determine how much power newly elected President Joe Biden (78) will actually have in the next few years.
Will Republicans defend their majority in the Senate or will Democrats change course? The “Fivethirtyeight” data gurus see two Democratic hopefuls Jon Ossoff (33) with 48.5 percentage points and Raphael Warnock (51) with 49.2 percentage points currently slightly ahead of Republicans and incumbents David Perdue ( 71) and Kelly Loeffler (50), a loyal Trump supporter.
The odds are good for the Democrats in the old Republican stronghold. Joe Biden won in November, former governor candidate Stacey Abrams (47) tirelessly mobilized blacks afterward, and Barack Obama (59) gave his support. The number of early voters is already higher than before the November 3 election.
Republican is in quarantine crown
Both Democrats Ossoff and Warnock consider themselves moderates. When asked about general health insurance, the “Green New Deal” and an expansion of the Supreme Court, young investigative journalist Ossoff rejected all the plans in an interview. Black Baptist pastor Warnock preaches at Ebenezer Baptist Church, the former workplace of Martin Luther King.
If the two Democrats win the second round, there would be a deadlock in the United States Senate from 50 Democratic senators to 50 Republicans. The decisive vote in the approval of the laws would then come from the future vice president Kamala Harris (56).
On Monday, Donald Trump, 74, plans to travel to Georgia for a campaign appearance to support Republican candidates. Whether David Perdue can be there as planned is questionable: He was informed Thursday morning that he had had close contact with a person who had tested positive for the corona virus. He is currently in quarantine.
