Results in for Georgia run-off election

From Morning Report, 8:15 am on 7 January 2021

The results in one of Georgia's run-off elections for the country's senate are still too close to call.

Democratic Pastor Raphael Warnock has been projected to win which would make him the first black senator from Georgia. But it's a tighter margin for fellow Democrat Jon Ossof, who has a narrow lead at the moment.

If the Democrats win both seats it would give that party effective control of all three branches of government.
