In an election-night shocker, both David Perdue and Gov. Nathan Deal have significantly outperformed their polls and won their races outright, avoiding what many saw as probable runoffs in both races. Perdue’s win helps the GOP take control of the Senate, and Deal’s win is one of many surprisingly robust showing for Republican governors and gubernatorial candidates across the nation. To describe tonight as a GOP wave, at this point, would be an understatement.
