| 0:00.0 | Today is Wednesday, January 6th. What to know today about the two extremely tight races in Georgia that impact the entire country as votes are counted into the early morning hours. |
| 0:10.0 | Also the final step in the presidential election, what's expected to happen today in Congress |
| 0:14.8 | and how Trump supporters are already protesting outside the Capitol. |
| 0:18.0 | Plus why Amazon bought some passenger planes, the Grammys have have been postponed and a college football player |
| 0:24.6 | with reason to celebrate even before the national championship. |
| 0:27.8 | Welcome welcome to the newsworthy. All the day's news in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. |
| 0:37.0 | I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so much for being here. You're ready. Let's do this. |
| 0:51.0 | For the first time in decades it looks like Georgia voters are sending at least one Democrat to the US Senate and it means Dembs are one major step closer to gaining control.S. Senate and it means Dems are one major step closer to gaining |

| 1:24.3 | For starters, Warnock will become the first black senator from Georgia. |
| 1:27.8 | Also, if they both win, the US Senate overall |
| 1:30.6 | will be split evenly between Democrats and Republicans with 50 |
| 1:34.3 | lawmakers from each party. That's only happened three times in American history. |
| 1:38.9 | This time it would technically mean Democrats will have the majority since Vice President-elect |
| 1:43.7 | Kamala Harris would act as the tiebreaker. But it would also give individual senators a lot more |
| 1:48.9 | power instead of just one majority leader. At least in the past, this type of split |
