Georgia’s post-midterm political balance puts Democrats in the governor’s office and in control of the House, while Republicans hold a 29-27 advantage in the Senate, according to a Georgia Republican Party analysis of unofficial results as of Nov. 9.
The party’s analysis identifies gas-tax relief, insurance costs, support for rural hospitals and education funding as possible subjects for bipartisan discussion.
It also predicts resistance in the Republican-led Senate to Democratic proposals for full Medicaid expansion, a $15 state minimum wage, repealing abortion restrictions and a statewide data-center moratorium.
The analysis says the unofficial election figures are scheduled for state certification on Nov. 20. A runoff in House District 151 is scheduled for Dec. 1.
