Important victory for the US Democrats: According to the US media, the party of President-elect Joe Biden won both votes in the decisive run-off elections in the US state of Georgia.
As predicted by the broadcasters NBC and CBS and the AP news agency, Jon Ossoff prevailed against the Republican David Perdue.
Previously, US media had already declared the Democrat Raphael Warnock the winner of the second runoff election in Georgia.
He won against Republican Kelly Loeffler.
With the double victory in Georgia, the Democrats now secure a majority in the Senate.
Since the Democrats already have a majority in the House of Representatives - the other Chamber of Congress - they will in future have control over the entire Congress.
