Democrat Raphael Warnock has spent his time on the campaign trail, both talking about Democratic priorities in the Senate, while also somewhat distancing himself from some of the criticism that his party has faced amid rising inflation and other economic concerns."

STORYLINE:
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker will meet in a Dec. 6 runoff in Georgia after neither reached the general election majority required under state law, ensuring an expensive, bitter fight that could still determine which party controls the Senate going forward.
It will be the second runoff for Warnock, who first won his seat in a Jan. 5, 2021, special election runoff alongside Democrat Jon Ossoff's victory in a concurrent Senate runoff. Together, the Georgia seats gave Democrats the narrow majority they are now defending.
Whether Georgia becomes a winner-take-all a second time will depend on other contests that are still pending; Arizona and Nevada are the two most closely watched because Republicans are trying to oust Democratic incumbents.
Walker, 60, sought Wednesday to play up the possibility that Georgia will tilt the chamber one way or the other. "Control of the Senate is likely at stake," Walker's campaign wrote in a fundraising push. "We don't have a moment to waste."
Warnock, 53, acknowledged the likelihood of a runoff in the wee hours of Wednesday morning as he urged the supporters who remained at his election night party to gird themselves for more.
"I understand that at this late hour you may be a little tired, but whether it's later tonight or tomorrow or four weeks from now, we will hear from the people of Georgia," the senator said.
Regardless of the Senate's partisan balance, Round 2 in Georgia will test again whether voters are more concerned about the economy under Democratic control of Washington or the Republican candidate's rocky past, from Walker's exaggerations of his business and personal achievements to allegations of violence against his family and accusations that he paid for the abortions of two women he dated despite his public support for a national abortion ban.
