1. Thank God.

[CentralMass]

2. There is a little sanity in the world.

[Bluethroughu]

3. Yes!

[ananda]

4. Whew!

Thank god!

[patphil]

5. As of 10PM, it's about 50-50, but DeKalb and Fulton county still have tons of votes to report.

And they are the 2 biggest Democratic strongholds in the state.
Should be a win for Ralphael Warnock

[Irish_Dem]

6. Thank God.

Whew.

[pansypoo53219]

7. walker got way too many votes.

[nycbos]

8. Look like we won't have to send Sherman's ghost down again quite yet.

[Wibly]

9. Eggs Chickens Counting

Not a good plan.

[Wounded Bear]

10. MSNBC is stretching it out to cling to the ratings...

gotta keep the "drama" going.

[Abolishinist]

11. MSNBC has called it for Warnock, as has CNN.

[Wounded Bear]

18. Yeah, like 2 minutes after I posted that...

[Abolishinist]

29. We were at a movie, when I got home I turned on MSNBC,

saw their projection, then fired up DU and found this thread. Apparently, according to your post, they had just called it. But I'm glad I was able to make you ROFL! Added fuel for your ROFL, I didn't care for the motion picture.

[Wounded Bear]

30. Sorry about the movie. Loving the win!

[Abolishinist]

37. Loving the win as well, and hats off to Walker

for conceding, although that in and of itself shows how far we've slid. 1.7 million Georgians voted for someone who just discovered that a werewolf can kill a vampire, as if they (or I) didn't know that.

[crickets]

12. I voted today. I knew it was going to be close, but this was nuts.

Yay, Warnock! I am so glad he's going to be our senator -- and midterm stress is finally over!! 🥳

[Texasgal]

13. Thank You! Baby Jesus!

WHEW!

[underpants]

14. If true (❤️) Warnock has won 4 Senate races in 2 years.

👍

[lindysalsagal]

15. NBC calls it. Currently on msnbc. Yay! Turning GABlue!

[ancianita]

16. GO, SENATOR WARNOCK! THANK YOU, GEORGIA!

6 MORE YEARS!

[bringthePaine]

17. FUCK YES

[BigmanPigman]

19. I have gotten out my noise makers for NY Eve

a little early. Fuckin' A!!!

[hurple]

20. But the real question is...

Does Walker know he lost? Does he understand the concept? Or, will he be out campaigning again tomorrow?

[joshdawg]

36. LOL!

[Chellee]

21. A grateful America thanks you Georgia. nt

[UTUSN]

22. Huzzah Senator #51 !!!!!

[cstanleytech]

23. My bet is Walker will pack his carpetbag and be on the next flight back to Texas.

[iluvtennis]

24. YaSSS!

[nightwing1240]

25. Fantasic news!

Thank goodness, I was sweating this race. Now I can breathe easier

[wendyb-NC]

26. Hallelujah!

I'm so glad he won.

[RainCaster]

27. Even The Hill says Raphael won!

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) was projected to win Georgia’s Senate runoff on Tuesday, sending him to the upper chamber for a full term and handing his party a crucial extra seat in the majority.

The Associated Press called the race at 10:26 p.m. ET.

Warnock, who is the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, defeated former professional football player Herschel Walker, who was backed by former President Trump. The race went to a runoff last month after neither candidate was able to garner more than 50 percent of the vote on Election Day.

Warnock’s win is yet another example of Democrats defying expectations in what was supposed to be a bruising midterm year for them. The party was running against rising inflation, gas prices and the historical trend of the sitting president’s party losing seats in its first midterm election.

28. I'd like to thank the bull that jumped over the fence to vote for Warnock.

The vampires who defeated the werewolves with mockery. The bad air blowing in from China for whatever the fuck it was doing. The pronouns me, myself and I, them and theirs, they and themselves, as well as she, he, her and him, and his. As in his victory - Senator Raphael Warnock - which is our victory, and it was a defeat for Walker and the GOP.

31. Love it.. Warnock Flipped Baldwin & Washington Co..

TY!💙

32. Nice. But why the fuck was it so close?

Walker should have lost by at least 30 points. What is wrong with Georgia voters? What are they thinking?

[Martin68]

33. Sanity prevails, by a small margin. We can't let our guard down for a single minute. The crazies are

still voting, and they are voting for their own kind.

[calimary]

34. Oy, I will have a chocolate hangover tomorrow.

Better fast all the live-long day! I turned to chocolate earlier this evening in desperation when the vote totals were way over 50% and Walker was ahead.

Oy…

But I’m NOT complaining! Not after an outcome like tonight’s!!!!!

[iemanja]

35. Oh, goody. Lindsay can cry some more.
