Georgia’s Senate race goes to a December runoff

Georgia’s U.S. Senate race is heading to a runoff, with neither major candidate on track to win a majority of votes.

Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and GOP nominee Herschel Walker will face off again on Tuesday, Dec. 6, with the Senate majority potentially on the line for a second straight election cycle in the historically conservative bastion. Warnock was slightly ahead, with 49 percent of the vote, but Georgia law requires a runoff if no candidate clears 50 percent.
