The longest ever election in Georgia will finally be concluded when Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock are sworn into office today along with Alex Padilla of California!

Two sons of Georgia, a black man and a Jewish man, along with a Latino man from California being sworn into office as US Senators by the first woman VP, who is the black-Indian American daughter of immigrants!

This is a day that I’ll never forget! 🍑🗳🇺🇸
