A Georgia election official said early Wednesday morning that it is “safe to say” there will be a Senate runoff election in the state.
“While county officials are still doing the detailed work on counting the votes, we feel it is safe to say there will be a runoff for the US Senate here in Georgia slated for December 6,” Gabriel Sterling, the Georgia Secretary of State’s chief operating officer, said on Twitter.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) held a slim lead over Republican challenger Herschel Walker with about 98 percent of the vote counted as of Wednesday morning.
