Decision Desk HQ calls the Georgia Senate runoff elections for Warnock and Ossoff

Decision Desk HQ has called both Georgia Senate runoff elections for the Democrats, meaning if these projections hold, the Senate is 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker.

They called the race for Reverend Raphael Warnock over Sen. Kelly Loeffler at 11:13 last night:

And they projected Jon Ossoff as the winner over Sen. David Perdue early this morning:

Again, if these calls hold, Dems will control the Senate:

But team Ossoff is confident that they’ve won it:

And don’t forget about potential recounts:

It's not yet assured Ossoff's victory will end up outside GA's 0.5% recount threshold, but it's likely. #GASEN
