After the Democrats have already secured 50 seats in the Senate, tomorrow they will try to reach 51 - if the incumbent senator Raphael Warnock wins in the second round in Georgia.
the importance?
Another Democratic vote in the Senate would allow the party to gain more control of the committees.
A month ago, Democratic Senator Warnock gained more votes than the Republican candidate, former football player Herschel Walker, but did not reach the 50% required by law in Georgia for victory.
More than 1.8 million residents of the "Peach State" have already cast their votes in the early voting, with particularly high participation rates in the Democratic districts.

According to the latest CNN poll, 52% of those who intend to vote said they would support Warnock, compared to 48% who said they would vote for Trump's candidate.
99% of Democrats stand behind Warnock, 95% of Republicans - behind Walker.
Among the group of independent voters, who make up less than 20% in Georgia, Warnock leads with 61% support compared to Walker's 36%.
According to the polls, Walker has two main problems: he is seen as untrustworthy, and the vote for him actually stems from opposition to Warnock.
On the other hand, the base of Warnock, pastor of a church in Atlanta, is more committed and his image is more positive.

The two candidates have been plowing the country in recent days, trying to gather every vote.
President Biden expressed public support for Warnock during an event in Boston, as did former President Barack Obama who attended a rally in support of Warnock.
After in one of his speeches Walker referred to the comic horror film "Fright Night", Obama scolded: "Walker talks about issues of great importance - whether it is better to be a vampire or a werewolf. I must admit that this is a discussion I also had with myself - when I was seven years old. Since then I grew up."
Walker, for his part, also brought support, including Republican senators and Governor Brian Kemp, who said: "We need Herschle Walker in the US Senate."
