As of this writing, one of the two Georgia Senate contests has been called. Democrat Raphael Warnock has been declared the winner in his race against Sen. Kelly Loeffler. Democrat Jon Ossoff narrowly leads Sen. David Perdue.
But according to various reports, nearly 24,000 military ballots have yet to counted, and there are thousands of overseas civilian ballots also still to be counted. Those ballots could make a critical difference, especially in the Perdue/Ossoff race, where Sen. Perdue is likely to demand a recount.
However, none of this prevented Ossoff from declaring himself the winner this morning. Remember when Trump was warned not to declare victory during last year's election?
Nor did it stop Chuck Schumer from declaring himself the Senate majority leader. And, of course, there's complete media silence regarding these premature declarations.
Needless to say, the results are astonishing. Georgia appears to have elected two senators who will be among THE MOST liberal senators in the U.S. Senate. It is the equivalent of Georgia electing someone like Senator Bernie Sanders or Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
