There were four winners in the Georgia Senate runoff elections: Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, the Democratic Party, and … Hunter Biden.

The first two won their races to become new senators. The party won control of the Senate. And Biden won what might be called freedom from investigation. If Republicans had prevailed in even one of the Georgia races, a Republican-led Senate committee, or two, would be gearing up to probe Hunter Biden’s finances at this very moment. But now, Democrats will be in control, and there is no way in the world they will investigate the new Democratic president’s son. That is also true, of course, for the Democratic-controlled House.
