Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock won a hotly contested U.S. Senate race in Georgia over Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, TV networks and Edison Research projected, but which party will control the chamber was up in the air with a second contest still undecided. Warnock, a Baptist preacher, defeated Loeffler in one of two runoff elections in Georgia that will decide control of the Senate - and whether Republicans will be able to block President-elect Joe Biden's agenda. The race between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican David Perdue was still too close to call. "I am going to the Senate to work for all of Georgia, no matter who you cast your vote for in this election." No Democrat has won a U.S. Senate race in Georgia in 20 years.
