All eyes on Georgia as vote for the Senate begins | First Thing

Voting begins in Georgia's Senate runoff races this morning, and will decide which party controls the upper chamber of Congress. Plus, FBI asked to investigate Trump recording

Good morning.

Today is the day that Georgia will vote for two Senate representatives, and in doing so, determine which party will control Congress's upper chamber. If Democrats win both seats, the Senate will be evenly split, giving Kamala Harris as vice-president the tie-breaking vote. If Republicans win even one of the races, Mitch McConnell will stay in place as Senate majority leader, making it considerably harder for the Biden administration to pass key pieces of legislation and deliver on policy promises.
