His victory in the Georgia runoff now gives Democrats a 51-49 majority in the Senate.

Alpha Phi Alpha’s international headquarters took to social media to officially celebrate their brother.
Senator Warnock is the third member of Alpha Phi Alpha to be come a US Senator, following Edward Brook who represented Massachusetts from 1967 to 1979 and Roland Burris who represented Illinois from 2009 to 2010.
“I am Georgia, I am example and an iteration of its history,” Warnock stated.
