The Republicans have 50 right now, and will have either 49 or 50 in January. They will lose the PA seat as of 12/31, and they are trying to offset that with a pickup in Georgia.

If any votes are tied in the Senate, the Vice President casts the tie-breaking vote.

but if the republicans lose GA they have 49. In neither case will republicans have a majority.

Makes you wonder how much attention (funds/organization) will now be thrown at GA. However, Dems can always use the spare vote to counter any rebels or deaths.
