47. Both Warnock and Ossoff made it into runoff elections

Tue Jul 14, 2026, 09:52 AM

Yesterday

in 2020. So, they ran in early 2021 and won the runoffs. Warnock's seat was up in 2022 and he again went into a runoff and won again.

All of these were in elections where the GA Secretary of State was Republican. At this point, you would think that Warnock would be legitimate even if Trump's lies about 2020 were true. Ossoff is ahead in his November race.

In 2002, Sununu defeated Shaheen partly because Republicans hired a company to disable the Manchester GOTV by sending hundreds of calls to their phones. Even though people were charged and convicted for doing this, no one pushed to remove Sununu and make Shaheen Senator. (She became Senator in the next election.)
