#BREAKING:
Collins has conceded to Sen. Loeffler in the #GASen special election. Loeffler will go on to face Democrat Warnock in a January runoff.

My household split on this one. There was really no bad choice. Doug needs to be in the administration. Kelly will win the runoff bigly.
Well THAT’s sad. If the Senate’s close after the election - maybe 49-50 GOP, will we have a choice?
I hate that.........I saw where Ziggy is 10 points ahead of McSally but I didn’t get the percentage of precincts.....anyone know? Jodi Ernst lost.....makes me sick......I’m going to bed (maybe)

Darn. Thought Collins would be good, but oh well
There was always going to be a run off Just a question of whether it would Collins or loeffler against warnock
Repubs MUST come together to defeat him
Perdue seems to have beaten Paul Ryan’s body double
Total BS.
This could’ve been an easy R win, for Loeffler.
As much as I don’t care for her.....leave her in the Senate, as she votes w/ and supports POTUS, and leave Collins in the House.
Shame on Collins.
Does he get to keep his House seat?
No that’s not true. This was a jungle election.
Damn. He deserved it.
No. It means there’s going to be a run off between Warnock and Loeffler
Bummer...had not heard that, about Ernst.
Thanks.
I’m not a huge Loeffler fan, but....d@mn, Collins.....we needed to easily hold this seat. This would’ve been a slam dunk.
Just heard that Ernst lost her seat.
Sickening.
yep.......I’m almost afraid to see how many flips the Senate has made and really heard the House has a bigger majority now......pray for someone in the west to wise up and give us some more Pubs.....
Why do you think the GA seat is lost? It goes to a runoff. She will win pretty easily.
Well GA is known for RINO senators. We just got another one. Loeffler will likely beat Warnock in the runoff. The last conservative senator we had in GA was Zell Miller a Democrat.
run off
No, they did not.
1. The Democrats have a fantastic candidate in Warnock, but he was 1 out of 8 Dem candidates. They needed to vote for Warnock to ensure he made it to the runoff.
2. Doug Collins would have been the weaker of the two against Warnock. He’s a good conservative, but like Ted Cruz, he has zero appeal beyond traditional conservatives. Loeffler (who has actually been more conservative than Collins) has wider voter appeal and stands a better chance against Warnock.
Don’t sleep on Warnock. He’s not the typical GA Democrat.He could win the runoff.
Don’t think any conservative wants her.
I’m ok with going from 53 to 52 in senate to get rid of this one. If senate is closer then i guess not
Collins & Loeffler ran against each other instead of the Dem Warnock.
We’re lucky other Democrat candidates decided to get in the race and drained votes away from Warnock, otherwise he might have won outright.
Loeffler has been the most conservative GA senator in my memory (and I remember Herman Talmadge).
A lot of mud was thrown around in this race, but we have a job to do now: hold this seat for the GOP.
