Democrats win 51st seat, secure most Senate

The US president's Democratic Party, Joe Biden, has strengthened control in the Senate by winning a tough race in Georgia, according to predictions.

Democrat Raphael Warnock has defeated the republican rival Herschel Walker in a contest that had remained unresolved due to the narrow outcome in the first round, which was held last month.

After that, the Democrats have majority in the 51-seat Senate, two more than the Republicans, television reports BBC.

This result covers a disappointing round of results in the mid-term election of Republican Party President Donald Trump.

The party achieved weaker than expected results last month, winning only a narrow majority in the House of Representatives.

The republican candidate in Georgia, a new figure in politics, joins a range of defeated and supported candidates from Trump, who is now aiming to secure the party's nomination for the 2024 presidential elections.

The race in Georgia had to be resolved by the runoff, because neither of the candidates had managed to get over 50 per cent of the vote in November, even though the democratic candidate had the advantage of about 37 thousand votes.

The anticipated victory for Warnock has a narrow advantage. After counting 99 percent of the vote, he has 50.8 percent, while the other candidate has 49.2 percent.

The republican candidate's campaign was under the shadow of accusations he has denied that he had given money to his two former girlfriends to carry out abortion despite his appeal that this procedure be prohibited by law.

He has also acknowledged during the campaign that he had become the father of three children, as he had long criticized fathers who abandoned their children.

The Democrat candidate has spent a lot more on the campaign -- an estimated 170 million dollars -- compared to the republican candidate who spent nearly $60 million.
