Georgia went to the polls on Tuesday for the second round of the Senate race. The party that wins the two seats at stake will control the upper house in the United States. The conservative fiefdom that gave the bell in November by voting for the first time in 28 years for a Democratic president, Joe Biden, went to the polls for the second round of the Senate race. In all, Republicans won 50 upper house seats in the elections; Democrats, 48. This morning, the Democrat Reverend Raphael Warnock has won one of the vacant seats while Jon Ossoff has been proclaimed the winner in a video that he posted on social networks. If the Democrats finally get 50 seats and there is a tie in the Senate, the decisive vote will go by law to the vice president-elect, Kamala Harris, giving the Democrats control of the House for at least two years after a six-year Republican majority. .
