David Perdue Concedes Georgia U.S. Senate Race to Jon Ossoff, Giving Democrats Majority Control
Breitbart ^ | January 08 2021 | MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Posted on 01/09/2021 1:25:18 AM PST by knighthawk

Former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) conceded to Democratic candidate, now Sen.-elect, Jon Ossoff late Friday, giving Democrats 50 seats in the United States Senate and effective control of that body as of January 20 when Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is sworn in as vice president.

Republicans now have only 50 seats in the Senate in the 117th Congress. The Constitution provides that the vice president has the authority to cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate.

“Bonnie and I are deeply grateful for the support millions of Georgians have shown us this year and in the six years since we first ran for the United States Senate. Serving our home state has been the honor of a lifetime, and I am very proud of how our team in Georgia and Washington, D.C. fought every day to deliver real results for all eleven million Georgians,” Perdue said in a Friday statement.

He’s paid well to play the role. He’ll continue in the public service of coloring the election process as one of the utmost integrity.

Yeah....you are gullible and believe the disinformation fed to you so you look like an idiot.

Did you think Trump marked ballots for the election as well?

Did you believe a special military group siezed servers proving voter fraud?

The amount of disinformation being fed to our side....much from China & Iran....is meant to discredit us and drive us toward violence.

Stop being a tool and believing in things like Qanon

You will be proven incorrect. There is no political solution. You have to think differently. There has been no concession.

Once Commie-la is sworn in as VP, won’t California need to have a special election for her senate seat? I wonder if they can put up a decent conservative? Or does Newsome just get to make the call?

Georgia Rep. Doug Collins should not escape blame for helping divide the Republican vote and there by forcing a runoff.He had absolutely no change of defeating Loeffler or Warnock and instead ended up helping elect this radical Democrat.

So when is this to take place? Has to be within the next 11 days. So, by the 12th day we should know if this is more BS or not. I pray it’s true, but have been disappointed so many times now. I won’t get excited until it goes down. I know you’ll understand. 8>)

You’re joking, right? No conservative would ever win in California where the political spectrum of candidates runs from Leninist to Stalinist.

So you think Dominion will elect a Republican?

Gavin Newsom already appointed Alex Padilla as her replacement.

Now Perdue is in the perfect position to negotiate with Biden for the people of Georgia!

So given that the two Georgia Senate elections were rigged and going to be a certain loss, were Powell and Wood wrong when they encouraged a boycott of it? If you believe that the election will be lost because of voter fraud, do you still barrel down the field to kick that football that Lucie yanked out of the way the last time? Or do you thumb your nose at Lucie and tell her you’re going home and not even going to bother to play that game?
