Georgia announced Fri. that the 2020 presidential race would head to a recount. Elections official Gabriel Sterling joked:
Pres. Trump has launched legal challenges against several battleground states, falsely claiming election fraud.
Biden addressed the election results on Thu.: "It is the will of the voters, no one else, that chooses the president."
Also, both of Georgia's Senate races will likely head to Jan. runoffs. Both races will decide the Senate majority in 2021.
