Stacey Abrams and Fair Fight deserve a big nod for their voter turnout efforts in the runoffs and the presidential election in GA.

This is about the best news a body could wake up to, and yeah, trump's 2 month hissy fit should get a lot of the credit along with his complete dereliction of duty during this pandemic.

Can't help feeling that Trump's recent antics blew it for the Republicans in Georgia...

Slim, slim margins, but the two democrats in their run off elections won their respective election to the Senate. This presents a hopeful scenario- it means that Mitch McConnell is out as Senate leader. He was beyond deplorable- He gave himself the title of the Grim Reaper, "where bills go to die". His was the single most factor that President Obama couldn't get some major bills passed. As a matter of fact, McConnell said that it would be his life's mission to see to it that Obama would be a one-term president. (Sweet irony- his efforts at that didn't work- Obama served two terms- but McConnell's favorite, Trump, was defeated after just one term. Sometimes life is sweet.)

McConnell was also the one who refused to allow a hearing for the Senate to consider Merrick Garland for the US Supreme Court.

So, for at least two years, McConnell will be in a minority role.
