Dems win Georgia runoff - Neuralink animal welfare probe - Trump Organization convicted

1. Summary
   Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated his Republican opponent Herschel Walker in Georgia's runoff election. Last month both candidates fell short of the 50% threshold needed for an outright win under Georgia law, though Warnock led Walker by under 37,000 votes (out of a total of 4 million). Warnock appeared to widen his margin Tuesday night. The result boosts the Democrats' Senate majority.
   
   Walker, a former football star, was plagued by various scandals during the race. He portrayed Warnock as obedient to President Biden, who is unpopular in Georgia. Warnock distanced himself from Biden, campaigning publicly with former President Obama instead. Walker similarly avoided campaigning with former President Trump until the last day.
   
   Warnock's win comes as Georgia has evolved into a battleground state. Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state in three decades in 2020. Despite Warnock's Senate win, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp won reelection by a comfortable margin.
