(CNN) No matter whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden winds up carrying the state of Georgia in the 2020 presidential race, the Peach State is already guaranteed to be the center of the political universe come early 2021. Which is exactly what appears to have happened in both of the state's Senate seats. Which, if the map stayed as it is right now, would mean that if Democrats won both Georgia runoffs, they would retake Senate control. As of today, given what we saw in terms of the unexpected strength of Republican candidates in Senate races, it is not. Or maybe Republicans, who have long taken the state's conservative bent for granted, will see the two likely Senate runoffs as a chance to reassert their state's ideological lean.
