Maybe they tried but failed.

The Dems already have.

At best, Republicans could win the outstanding runoff in Georgia to bring the Senate back to a 50-50 seat split, in which Democrats would still have control thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote.
But at this point, it's much more likely that Democrats win the runoff and obtain a proper, 51-49 majority.

We'll see. The Senate was important the first time around. Now Dems have won, so perhaps less urgency. It's very important, but I expect turnout to be much lower, so it's an open race.

No one has a crystal ball on the Georgia runoff, but Walker is one of the weakest candidates I've seen the GOP put up. Yikes. Warnock is a partisan radical dickhead jackass who doesn't deserve to win, but probably will.

My advice to Walker - show up as little as possible and let smarter people do the talking for you.

It is clear that when Dems win they must be cheating...

If GOP wins, it was a fair election.

Runoffs, and races in Georgia in general, are all about turnout. Dems have built an impressive machine in Atlanta in recent years and Warnock is really good at appealing to his base. Getting the low propensity, spread out white rural base of the GOP to turn out for this election is much more difficult. Georgia is probably a state where the swap of college- for non-college-whites really bites the GOP in the ass in midterm or runoff environments.

And like others have said, Walker is a piss-poor candidate, far below replacement level.
