Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, seeking his first full term after winning a 2021 special election, defeated Republican challenger Herschel Walker in a runoff election, according to an NBC News projection.
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated Republican Herschel Walker on Tuesday in Georgia’s Senate runoff election, NBC News projects, handing President Joe Biden and his party a key win.
Warnock’s victory will give Democrats an outright majority in the Senate after two years under a 50-50 divide, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting tie-breaking votes. Senate Republicans had been hoping to get a headstart on the 2024 election, when the electoral map heavily favors the GOP. But Walker was dogged by scandals, a more than 2-to-1 spending disadvantage and lack of confidence in both the candidate and his campaign from some GOP officials.
