Big win for Joe Biden as Democrats land outright majority in the US Senate, NBC News projects

Arabnews24.ca:Tuesday 6 December 2022 10:31 PM: Democrat Raphael Warnock has been re-elected to the US Senate in a crucial win for President Joe Biden, NBC News has projected.

His victory gives Democrats an outright majority in the Senate after two years under a 50-50 divide, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting tie-breaking votes.

Mr Warnock defeated Republican rival Herschel Walker during the Georgia race - a former NFL star.

A run-off election was triggered because neither candidate had won an outright majority during the midterms last month.
