2020 Election: U.S. Senate
Senate control remains in flux
and will be a determinative
factor in a Biden
Administration Agenda.
Both parties are preparing for
runoffs in Georgia’s two
Senate seats on January 5,
2021.
For Democrats to lead the
Senate, they need to win both
Georgia runoff races which
would result in a 50-50 Senate;
Vice President Kamala Harris
would be the tie vote.
