Why the US elections in Georgia are so important

Georgia Runoffs, Explained. Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO The 2020 US elections are not completely over. Indeed, even though we know Joe Biden will be president, we still don’t know whether he will have a friendly Congress to work with. The lower house of Congress, the House of Representatives, is under Democratic control. But control of the upper house, the Senate, is still up in the air, due to two remaining Senate elections – and they are both taking place in the state of Georgia. The results of this “runoff” election – one between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican David Perdue, the other between Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Kelly Loeffler – will determine whether Biden’s policy agenda will be ambitious or compromised . But runoff elections are actually very rare in the United States. And why Georgia uses them in the first place is crucial to understanding the state that will now determine the next few years of American politics. Note: The title of this video has been updated.
