BITTER Rivalry: Georgia Senate RUNOFF Election Approaches
— After a fierce campaign trail of personal attacks and scandal, the people of Georgia are getting ready to vote on Tuesday in the Senate runoff election. Republican and former NFL running back Herschel Walker will face Democrat and current senator Raphael Warnock for Georgia’s Senate seat.
Warnock narrowly won the Senate seat in a special election runoff in 2021 against Republican Kelly Loeffler. Now, Warnock must defend his seat in a similar runoff, this time against former football star Herschel Walker.
Under Georgia law, a candidate must obtain a majority of at least 50% of the vote to win outright in the first election round. However, if the race is close and a candidate for a smaller political party, or an independent, gets enough votes, no one will get a majority. In that case, a runoff election is scheduled between the top two candidates from round one.
On 8 November, the first round saw Senator Warnock grab 49.4% of the vote, narrowly ahead of Republican Walker with 48.5%, and 2.1% going to Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver.
The campaign trail has been fiery with accusations of domestic violence, not paying child support, and paying a woman to have an abortion. The intense rivalry will come to a head on Tuesday, 6 December, when Georgia voters make their final decision.
