Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, Democratic challengers who represented the diversity of their party\u2019s evolving coalition, defeated Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. The twin victories Wednesday end nearly two decades in which Democrats have been shut out of statewide victories in Georgia. Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state since 1992.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging his fellow Republicans to abandon their effort to overrule President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s election triumph. For the Kentucky Republican it&#8217;s a direct rebuke of defeated President Donald Trump. And McConnell is asserting that the GOP drive against Biden threatens the democratic foundations of the country. McConnell spoke as Congress began the formal process on Wednesday of affirming Biden&#8217;s electoral vote victory over Trump. The challenges against Biden&#8217;s win are certain to fail. It&#8217;s the latest instance of McConnell taking on Trump in Trump&#8217;s final days in office.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Georgia\u2019s Senate runoff elections were a clash of two closely matched coalitions, with Democrat Raphael Warnock edging out his rival in the one-time Republican stronghold. Warnock and fellow Democrat Jon Ossoff \u2014 whose race is still too early to call \u2014 were relying on the backing of Black voters, younger voters, people earning less than $50,000 and newcomers to the state. That&#8217;s according to AP VoteCast, a survey of voters in Tuesday\u2019s high-stakes Senate contests. The Republican coalition backing Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue was the mirror opposite: white, older, wealthier and longtime Georgia residents.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Justice Department says about 3% of its email accounts could be compromised as part of a massive breach of federal government agencies that U.S. officials have linked to Russia. No classified systems are believed to have been affected, according to a statement from Justice Department spokesman Marc Raimondi. The statement did not identify who the potentially compromised email accounts may belong to. And it&#8217;s not immediately clear whether the intrusion at the Justice Department and other agencies included access to data other than email because Microsoft\u2019s Office 365 includes multiple document-sharing and collaborative components.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 U.S. health officials say they have reports of at least 29 people developing severe allergic reactions to the coronavirus vaccines, but they stress that the risk for most people is low. The CDC released its latest count of side effects suffered by more than 5.3 million people who have been vaccinated. The 29 had suffered anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction that can be controlled through an epinephrine injection. That\u2019s a rate of about 5.5 cases per million people, which is roughly four times higher than the rate seen in a study of people who got flu shots. Anyone who has a severe reaction to a first dose should not get a second dose of the vaccine, the CDC says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; &#8230;DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM CST THURSDAY&#8230; * WHAT&#8230;Visibility less than one quarter mile in dense fog. * WHERE&#8230;Portions of central North Dakota&#8230;Including Stutsman County. * WHEN&#8230;Until 6 AM CST Thursday. * IMPACTS&#8230;Hazardous driving conditions due to low visibility. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS&#8230;The fog could deposit [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":99404,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-216271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wb-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=216271"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216323,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216271\/revisions\/216323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/99404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=216271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=216271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=216271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
