Democrats and Republicans are gearing up for an unprecedented two-month battle
for control of the Senate that centers on just one state: Georgia.

決選投票となれば上院の過半数支配を争う可能性

Democrats failed to deliver in Senate battlegrounds this week, but both parties are
still short of a majority in the chamber. So now Georgia holds the keys to control
of the Senate, with both of the state’s races appearing likely to head to runoffs
in early January. And with Joe Biden favored to win the presidency, Democrats could
win control of a 50-50 Senate if they flip both seats.

The race between GOP Sen. David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff had not been called
as of Thursday afternoon, but Perdue’s share of the vote was slightly below the 50
percent threshold necessary to win the race outright. Loeffler, who was appointed
to her seat when Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) retired, will face Warnock in a runoff
for the special election to fill the remainder of Isakson’s term.
