But Republicans flipped 12 seats in the House, and Trump easily beat Biden at Florida and Ohio.
Biden is trying to avoid picking House members for his cabinet, because they can't afford to lose any more seats.
Only ONE candidate in the 20th Century lost the General Election while winning Florida+Ohio (Nixon).
Comprehensively losing Florida+Ohio is not a long-term strategy, when you are winning other swing states by such slim margins (including Georgia, which Biden only won by 0.2).
Georgia has been a formula for Democrat success by grassroots voter registration drives. Texas will be next to flip to Democrat control. Trump will continue to cry about voter fraud his supporters will melt away. The best thing for Democrats would be if Trump creates his own party splitting the Republican vote.
...it turns out that pro-coup isn't a very good political position for incumbent Senators to take.
Gee, who knew?
PS - Georgia, deciding your Senate elections two days after the newly-elected Senate is sworn in perhaps the dumbest election law on the books today. You should rectify that.
After what just happened, I fully expect this to be the last run off that ever takes place in Georgia. I’ll be shocked if their legislature doesn’t roll out legislation to end the run off system in the near future since without it Perdue would be a senator right now.

Why stop there?
You have Dominion to take care of rigging the votes, they'll be manipulated votes by the people dead, illegal, alive, and duplicated.
I'll vote my conscience as a "I" win or lose.
My guess, if Mitch loses his power job, he's going to resign. I can't picture him being a mere Senator again. He'd be bored to death!
It was his own fault that Georgia went to the Dems for the senate. If he hadn't opposed the $2k stimulus checks, the handout acceptors in Georgia would have had no reason to let the Dems take control.
Was there ever any question that democrats would find enough mail in votes to win Georgia with the senate on the line? They had months to flood those ballots out there. Literally every razor thin election has went to Dems this election
