That projected win would make warnock the first black senator in georgia's history.
According to the ap, warnock is up by nearly 50-thousand votes.
However, in the race between democrat jon ossoff and republican senator david perdue, the vote count remains a little closer.
Right now, ossoff is now ahead by just over 16-thousand votes.
If ossoff were to win, that would split the u- s senate, leaving vice president-elect kamala harris as the tie breaking vote.
More than 3-million georgians voted early, shattering the state's record for (total( turnout in a runoff.
