As of Jan 7th 2021:
Note: Both Senate seats in Georgia were up for election in 2020—the Class 2 seat held by Senator David Perdue, and the Class 3 seat held by appointed senator Kelly Loeffler (special election). In both races, none of the candidates won a majority (50%+) as required by Georgia State law, forcing run-off elections to be held January 5, 2021. Senator Perdue's term expires on January 3, 2021, resulting in a vacancy in that seat until the run-off election results are certified.
