Donate now to elect Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff and help Democrats take back the Senate!

As we continue to count the votes to hear the voices of Americans, we must prepare for the next fight: Control of the U.S. Senate will come down to Georgia’s two runoff elections on January 5.

These runoff elections will be tough fights, but we know we can win. We need your help right now to make sure they win -- and to protect the right of every eligible Georgian to make their voice heard.

Split a donation between Raphael Warnock, Jon Ossoff, and Fair Fight to protect the vote and send both candidates to the Senate.

DUers we all need to chip in to help get Moscow Mitch off of his high horse.

Note: Adding a post script clarification
From https://www.senate.gov/history/partydiv.htm, the current is:
Majority Party: Republican (53 seats)
Minority Party: Democrat (45 seats)
Other Parties: 2 Independents (both caucus with the Democrats)
Total Seats: 100

Dems lost Alabama and won Colorado and Arizona, so here is how I tally things up.

With Alabama lost, numbers would be:
Republican (54 seats)
Democrat (44 seats)

With Colorado and Arizona wins, numbers would be:
Republican (52 seats)
Democrat (46 seats)

If we pick up the two Georgia seats:
Republican (50 seats)
Democrat (48 seats)

There would be 50-50 tie if we won the 2 Georgia seats and the 2 Independents voted with the Dems

5. Thanks for posting this

this is our next job to do. So if these two gentlemen get in is Mitch out in January?

6. With these two in, the Senate will have 48 Dems and 48 GOP. See this screenshot...

The 2 Others are Independents (Bernie Sanders and Justin Amash)

VP would be tie breaker.

What I don't know is with 48 Dems and 48 GOpers who would be the majority leader. Maybe someone else here on DU coan speak to that.

7. I thought the count up to now is 48-48? nt

8. It is when counting Sanders and King who caucus with Democrats.

9. Yes, something is off with the numbers I dfound on web as they only add up to 98. Let me do some

more digging to see if I cna get the right numbers.
