Democrat Jon Ossoff clinched victory in the second
Georgia Senate runoff, US networks projected Wednesday,
guaranteeing his party control of the body.
Ossoff defeated incumbent Republican Senator David Perdue with a
nearly 25,000-vote margin, or 0.56 percent, with 98 percent of the
expected vote counted, NBC and ABC projected.

His win, after fellow Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated
Republican Kelly Loeffler in a parallel runoff election Tuesday,
gave both parties 50 seats in the Senate.
With the chamber evenly split, Democratic Vice-president elect
Kamala Harris will play the role of the tie-breaker, giving
Democrats control of the Senate as well as the House of
Representatives.
