The hard-fought Senate race in Georgia is heading into overtime.
Neither Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) nor Republican Herschel Walker is projected to score the majority support needed to clinch the hotly contested Senate seat. The results mean that one of the most competitive statewide contests in the country will be left unresolved for weeks.
NBC News and CNN both projected the race would go to a runoff.
Under Georgia’s election laws, a candidate must receive at least 50 percent plus one to win an election outright.
Warnock and Walker will now advance to a Dec. 6 runoff election that will determine who will go to Washington next year.

Expect Georgia Dems to lean way in on Walker's Trump relationship in the runoff. Trump is an anchor around GOP candidates in GA statewide races, and even more so after last night. All Trump all the time in GA over the next month is very good for Warnock.
