What Happened This Week In Washington — And Georgia

Maybe we’ll get a blue mirage followed by a red mirage!

To follow up on Kendall’s post, Perdue has now pulled ahead of Ossoff, holding a 0.52-point lead with 68 percent of the expected vote in. Remember, as Geoffrey pointed out earlier, a lot of the vote in the Atlanta metro area still hasn’t been counted, but this race is tightening by the minute.

There is a disparity between Warnock and Ossoff right now. In the counties where the two are performing best, Warnock is running inches ahead of his Democratic counterpart. For example, in Fulton County (Atlanta), with some vote still outstanding, Warnock is leading Loeffler with 75.2 percent of the vote, compared to Ossoff who has 74.4 percent. In nearby Clayton County, where votes continue to come in, Warnock is up with 89.2 percent of the vote, while Ossoff holds 89.1 percent. Enough to make the smallest of differences between them.
