Though Democrats' chances at winning a Senate majority are diminishing, the fight may stretch into 2021.
Both of the Georgia Senate seats up for election this year could head to runoff contests in January, based on results in the state as of Thursday.
Republican Sen. David Perdue dipped slightly below 50% of the vote Thursday evening. If that tally stays below the 50% mark, he'll face Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff on Jan. 5 in a runoff. The other Georgia Senate seat contested between GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Raphael Warnock, senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, already appears headed to a runoff next year.
