After a hard-fought campaign – or should I say campaigns – it is my honor to utter the four most powerful words ever spoken
in a democracy: , Sen. Raphael Warnock, (D-GA), via CNN.
The people have spoken, Sen. Raphael Warnock, (D-GA), via CNN.
I often say that a vote is
a kind of prayer for the world
we desire for ourselves
and for our children, Sen. Raphael Warnock, (D-GA), via CNN.
You have put in the
hard work and here we
are standing together, Sen. Raphael Warnock, (D-GA), via CNN.
President Joe Biden hailed Warnock's victory as a blow to "ultra MAGAism.".
Tonight Georgia voters stood up for our democracy, rejected Ultra MAGAism, and most importantly: sent a good man back to the Senate. Here’s to six more years, President Joe Biden, Twitter, via CNN.
Warnock's opponent, Herschel Walker, was backed by former President Donald Trump.
There are no excuses in life and I’m not going to make any excuses now because we put up one heck of a fight, Herschel Walker, GA Senate Candidate, via CNN.
Some GA Republicans
were vocal about holding
Trump "accountable" for
Republican defeat.
The only way to explain this
is candidate quality, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, (R-GA), via CNN.
If we don’t take our medicine here, it’s our fault. Every Republican in this country ought to hold Donald Trump accountable for this, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, (R-GA), via CNN.
Warnock's win means a significant shift in
power dynamics for Senate Democrats
