The other race, between incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue against Democrat challenger Jon Ossoff, is still too close to call, but Ossoff currently has a lead over his opponent.

Due to the pandemic, this election night looked a little different than most. Still, some folks gathered to take in the election night results, hoping their party would come out on top.
