Two Senate seats are up in Georgia. In one, Jon Ossoff, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2018, is slightly behind incumbent Republican David Perdue 49% to 48%.
Ossoff, a 33-year-old Jewish former journalist, got a boost after lashing out against Perdue in their most recent debate — on several issues, including an ad Perdue’s campaign ran that appeared to elongate Ossoff’s nose — went viral.
In a second race, Democrat Raphael Warnock is handily leading incumbent kelly Loeffler. Matt Lieberman, son of former Jewish Senator Joe Lieberman, has only 2.7 % of the vote.
Marjorie Greene, a QAnon-spouting candidate backed by Donald Trump, is winning her race for a seat in the House of Representatives, though with only a few thousands votes counted there.
Statewide, 5% of Georgia’s likely votes have been counted.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
