Dems Win Senate, Take Control, Republicans in Shambles

Democrats have won back control of the United States Senate with their wins in the two Senate runoff elections in Georgia yesterday. Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler by a margin of 55,000 votes. With two percent of the vote still outstanding, that margin is likely to grow in Warnock’s direction. The race between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican incumbent David Perdue has not been called yet, however Ossoff is now heavily favored to win. He is up currently by about 18,000 votes with two percent outstanding in heavily-Democratic areas. Ossoff will almost certainly be declared the winner today or later this week.

The two pickups in Georgia will provide the Democrats with fifty seats in the US Senate. While Republicans will also have fifty votes, Democrats will soon have control of the Vice Presidency with Kamala Harris and be able to break any ties in the chamber. This means that Joe Biden will be able to pass much of his agenda without constantly facing obstruction by Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell. This is a major success for Democrats and a major defeat for Republicans. Trump’s bogus election fraud claims and McConnell’s refusal to send $2,000 checks to Americans in need are already being blamed as some of the reasons why the GOP failed.

Trump FREAKS OUT Over Senate Loss, Claims Huge "Dumps"

Donald Trump was outraged on Twitter yesterday as the election results poured in from Georgia. No matter what the results were last night, Trump was going to claim that it played into his narrative that November’s presidential election was rigged. Indeed, the Democrats won, so Trump was able to simply say they rigged it once again and that Republicans didn’t learn their lesson from the last time. The tweets started around 10 pm ET yesterday when Trump wrote, “Looks like they are setting up a big ‘voter dump’ against the Republican candidates. Waiting to see how many votes they need?”

Trump stayed up until the early hours of the morning, giving up on Georgia and moving onto the Republican effort to block the electoral college votes from being counted today (January 6th). Trump tried his best to pressure Mike Pence to block certification of Biden’s win when he acts in his capacity as Senate President in front of a joint session of Congress. Trump posted to Twitter, "If Vice President @Mike_Pence comes through for us, we will win the Presidency. Many States want to decertify the mistake they made in certifying incorrect & even fraudulent numbers in a process NOT approved by their State Legislatures (which it must be). Mike can send it back!" Trump’s argument is not true, since Pence’s role in the vote count is merely perfunctory. However, Trump will do his best to pressure Pence and ruin his future political career nonetheless.

From yesterday’s show:

Trump Could Face Criminal Charges for GA Phone Call

Donald Trump could conceivably face charges for what he said on a phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Saturday. Trump urged Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes” and change the results to overturn Joe Biden’s win in Georgia last November. Trump may have broken federal laws against solicitation of election fraud and conspiracy to intimidate, threaten, injure, or oppress rights secured by the US Constitution. He may have also broken Georgia state laws against solicitation of election fraud and soliciting others to commit tampering of votes. In any other administration, this would be a major scandal, but since we’re still in the Trump years, it will just be another blip.
