Summary

Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff appear to have defeated incumbent Republicans Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Sen. David Perdue, giving the Democrats a majority in the U.S. Senate.

Georgia’s two runoff elections were required under state law after no candidate received a majority of the votes on Nov. 3.

Janae Stracke, the grassroots director of Heritage Action for America, the lobbying arm of The Heritage Foundation, has been on the ground in Georgia for weeks to mobilize voters.

Stracke joins "The Problematic Women Podcast" to explain what it takes to run a grassroots campaign effort, and what she heard from voters on the ground in Georgia, who are concerned over the direction in which their state appears to be headed.

We cover these stories:

The U.S. Capitol was breached by a violent mob Wednesday afternoon.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) warns his colleagues of the danger of further challenging the 2020 presidential election results.
Vice President Mike Pence tells Congress that he would not block the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

Enjoy the show!
