Following the 2020 United States elections, both U.S. Senate seats in the state of Georgia went to runoffs concurrently held on January 5, 2021. As Democratic Party challengers defeated both Republican Party incumbents,[1] Democrats took control of the U.S. Senate, giving a government trifecta to the newly elected U.S. president Joe Biden.[2]
