Democrats gain control of U.S. Senate after key Georgia wins

Democrats now have total control of Washington after they won in two key Senate runoff races in Georgia.

Jon Ossoff, 33, unseated GOP Senator, David Perdue (R-Ga) to become the youngest U.S. senator in 40 years, the Associated Press reported Wednesday afternoon.

While Warnock becomes the first black senator in state history, Ossoff is the first Jewish Georgia senator and the youngest member of the chamber.

Democrats will now control the White House and both chambers of Congress for the first time since Barack Obama’s win in 2008.

There is, however, still a 50-50 tie in the Senate despite the dual wins with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris set to be the deciding vote by January 20.

The new Democratic majority means Mitch McConnell will be unseated as majority leader by New York Democrat Chuck Schumer.

My company has three subsidiaries, all operating independently with its own website. A supposed I.T expert based in the UK developed the sites and we paid through our noses in pounds. But barely two years after, we started running into serious issues. The sites collapsed and weren't in use for almost six months. It was frustrating. I have known Multiplatforms.net all this time. You know what they say about a prophet in his hometown. I didn't rate him and his company. However, in less than 48 hours, our sites were back from dead after I handed over to Multiplatforms.net. And even more impressive, his charges were minimal.
