We will be ready to fight on and win in June if it is necessary.”

Here are Georgia’s special 6th district election’s final voting results after all the votes were tallied:

It is not known why, but Trump took to Twitter, of course, to say his political party had won hours before the race was called. He and the other top vote-getter -- Republican candidate Karen Handel, who received 19.8% -- will now face off in a runoff election in June, a likely uphill climb for Democrats now that the Republican vote in a reliably GOP district will be consolidated behind one candidate. And Democrats are also emboldened by Ossoff’s performance in a House district that has been held by Republicans for 38 years, most recently by Dr. Tom Price, a fierce opponent of the Affordable Care Act who was confirmed last month to be U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Trump administration.
No candidate reaches a majority vote, so the first- and second-place finishers, Jon Ossoff (48.1%) and Karen Handel (19.8%), will face off in a runoff election on June 20, 2017.
