Democrats officially took Senate control on Wednesday after sweeping both runoff elections in Georgia.
Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock beat Republican incumbents Sen. David Perdue and Sen. Kelly Loeffler to move the party to a 50-50 split in the Senate, which Vice President–elect Kamala Harris will preside over as the tiebreaking vote.
All over the internet, people who supported the Democrats had a lot to celebrate.
Morning!! Thank you Georgia!! #TheView
Especially Black voters, who are being credited with showing up in a big way for the candidates.
Literally every minority waking up today in Georgia #GAelection

Georgia said it’s not a phase mom, it’s a lifestyle
And joked about Trump's call, in which he threatened the Georgia secretary of state to change the general election results, as being a deciding factor.
As well as other current events.

As well as dunking on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who will lose his control of the Senate.
Many people also pointed out that Ossoff is the first millennial elected to the Senate.
