Georgia Senate runoff live updates, analysis after Warnock win

Today, Democrats and Republicans alike are looking for lessons in the win of Sen. Raphael G. Warnock (D-Ga.) over Republican challenger Herschel Walker in Georgia’s Senate runoff. With Warnock’s win Tuesday night, members of the Democratic caucus will hold 51 seats in the chamber, a pickup of one seat in midterm elections in which Republicans hoped to take control of the chamber. Walker was the fourth candidate backed by former president Donald Trump to lose a Senate race that Republicans thought they could win.

In Washington, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, the spouse of Vice President Harris, is hosting a roundtable on the rise of antisemitism in the United States. President Biden has no public events on his schedule Wednesday.
