The Democrats look likely to win both Georgia senate seats tonight. Warnock leads Loeffler by over 30000. Perdue has a 1800 vote lead over Ossoff, but with mostly urban areas left to count, that will likely swing to Ossoff's favor before long.

Yup... looks like the Democrats are going to win the senate.
After so much disappointment in the general election (Biden didn't make as many inroads into places like Florida as hoped, Democrats lost house seats, and they failed to take the Senate back in November), it looks like there is finally hope for American democracy. Democrats will have control of both the white house and congress, and Biden will have roughly 2 years to try to fix the damage caused by Stubby McBonespurs.
(I say 2 year, because the Democrats have a slim majority in the house, and the party that holds the white house tends to lose seats in the midterms. Sadly there is a good chance Republicans will retake the house in 2022.)
And its quite possible that Trump may have been the cause of the Republican losses... first with his $2000 stimulus check game, and with his call to the Georgia Secretary of State (not to mention his general complaints about "rigged elections").
Hopefully the first thing that Biden does is start the process of granting statehood Puerto Rico (and perhaps Washington DC). Shouldn't be too difficult... a recent referendum in Puerto Rico showed the majority supported statehood, and it can largely be done through legislation. This would give extra seats in congress that would probably be reliably Democratic for at least the next few election cycles (not to mention electoral college votes), and might give the Democrats a better shot at holding onto power.
