The two Georgia run-off elections appear to now be settled, and it looks like Democrats will have total control over Congress and the White House. 

Democrats are now predicted to have won control of the US Senate along with the US House of Representatives, and under a Biden administration, the impact on the rest of the country will be huge. 

Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff is being declared the winner in his Senate runoff election in Georgia over incumbent Sen. David Perdue. On Friday afternoon, Perdue conceded to Ossoff.

The Associated Press reported, with 98% of the ballots counted, Ossoff was leading with 2,252,548 votes and Perdue was losing with 2,207,552 votes.

Ossoff will join his fellow Democrat Raphael Warnock who has reportedly won his runoff race against Sen. Kelly Loeffler. 

Their victories mean the Senate would be tied 50-50, giving Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris the tie-breaking vote which gives Democrats control of the Senate.
