The contest between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker for a US Senate seat in Georgia remained too close to call early Wednesday, making a Dec. 6 runoff increasingly likely.

The latest results in the nation’s most expensive race showed Warnock up on the former University of Georgia and National Football League football star 49.4% to 48.5%, with 97% of the votes counted.
