Senator Kelly Loeffler conceded the Georgia runoff election on Thursday to Democrat Raphael Warnock, ending a hard-fought race to keep the seat — and the balance of the U.S. Senate — in Republican hands.
“Unfortunately, we came up slightly short in the runoff election and earlier today I called Reverend Warnock to congratulate him and to wish him well in serving this great state,” she said in a video posted on Twitter.
