UVA Center for Politics: “In a highly unusual situation, both of Georgia’s Senate seats will be on the ballot next month – one seat was already scheduled to be elected, while the other is a special election. As January’s result will decide control of the Senate, both sides are invested in Georgia’s outcome. In the regular election, Democrat Jon Ossoff made some gains in the suburbs since he was last on the ballot, but to beat Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), he’ll likely have to do even better. The battle for the state’s other seat is a bitter contest between appointed incumbent Kelly Loeffler and Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat and a preacher. Though it would add an extra layer of chaos to the outcome, history – and data from November – seems to point away from a split outcome.”
