On January 6, the Georgia state House’s former minority leader watched her hard work and the hard work of her fellow organizers come to fruition as Democrats won the Senate majority of the Georgia Senate Runoff Election. US Senator-Elects Reverend Warnock celebrated the victory, as did the now internationally famed political rights activist. Abrams congratulates both elects on Instagram, citing her enthusiasm to witness the great impact they will soon have on the nation.<\/p>\n
