The last key battle of the mid-term elections in the United States comes to a head in the State of Georgia on Tuesday where a run-off election for the final outstanding U.S. Senate seat will be decided. USMidterms

While Democrats lost their majority in the House of Representatives, they are seeking to expand their slim Senate majority where Vice President, Kamala Harris, currently casts a deciding vote in the evenly split upper House.

On the Democratic side is Reverend Raphael Warnock who is both a United States Senator and the Senior Pastor at the iconic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta; an establishment where Dr Martin Luther King Jr was co-pastor in the 60s until his assassination in 1968. Senator Warnock says: “If we have value, then we ought to have a voice in the direction of the country and our destiny within it. Georgia, it’s time to raise your voice because this race is about character and competence. Oh, I know, I know we have political differences. And that’s part of what makes this country a great country. But let me tell you, in my race, this is not about Republican and Democrat. This is not about right and left. This is about the difference between right and wrong.
