The riots of January 6, 2021 were a shameful and frightening spectacle in America. Yet, in the midst of national tragedy, progressives scored a victory that unfortunately got lost in the shadows of the larger incident. But make no mistake, this vanquishment has the power to have just as much, if not more influence on how we spend the next era in our country.
The twin triumphs of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in Georgia's Senate runoffs Tuesday and Wednesday will put Congress, albeit by the slimmest of margins, in Democratic hands for the first time since 2010. And the victories were the first for both an African-American and a Jewish Senator in the history of the Peach State, which also voted for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since 1992. Way To Go, Georgia!
