Everything depended on Georgia. Republicans needed to keep just one of the two Senate seats up for election in order to check a Democrat-controlled House and put an end to the Biden administration’s most radical policies. Now, they will do neither because Democrats appear to have won both races in the Peach State. Sen.-elect Raphael Warnock has beaten Sen. Kelly Loeffler by nearly 100,000 votes, and Jon Ossoff appears to have narrowly defeated Sen. David Perdue.

Both Loeffler and Perdue were horrible candidates, but Loeffler was particularly bad. She could not have sounded more robotic or out of touch if she tried.
