1888 now. This up and down is making me very anxious. ---

“Trump and I have had our differences but he really fucked over Mitch McConnell and you gotta respect that.” ---

It’s probably not going to be called by most outlets until tomorrow ---

Don’t forget the “filled that seat” smugness after the last Supreme Court vote. ---

I was reminded tonight that Perdue was the same asshole who during a rally earlier in 2020 was the “oh I don’t know Kamalamalalalamala I don’t know, whatever” dude. This makes tonight even sweeter. [https://youtu.be/vDi7WoY39MA?t=32](https://youtu.be/vDi7WoY39MA?t=32) ---

Don’t break out the champagne yet. Perdue still leads Ossoff by 1868 votes ---

Yeah, I called it one each, but Ossoff may win yet. ---

If both Democrats win I hope that Democrats wear “Ossoff and Warnock won” masks around Marjorie Greene. ---

Regarding the split outcome, any guesses as to why this is the case? What kind of voter is voting for both Warnock and Perdue? Maybe sexist Republicans who refuse to vote for a woman? Conservative Black people sticking to the racial tribe in one race and the political tribe in the other? ---

James carville seems very sure that dem will win both races. ---

Perdue’s family is big in ga. He may be getting a bit of shine from sonny Perdue. ---

Maybe sexist Republicans who refuse to vote for a woman? Conservative Black people sticking to the racial tribe in one race and the political tribe in the other? Perdue is just more popular. Loeffler is an appointed Senator who really has no warmth at all. ---

He called it early this afternoon. Ossoff will win, by probably more than 11,779 votes. We did it. I am beyond relieved. ---

Carville said that the attack on Warnock’s church had quite an effect on getting out the vote. Joy Reid also mentioned this as a motivator. ---
