As Sen. Elizabeth Warren has noted, President-elect Biden "ran on the most progressive economic and racial justice platform of any general election nominee ever."

Yet the promise of such a platform is at the mercy of Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority. Only a power shift there will enable the Democrats' most transformative policy ideas to even come to the floor. So all eyes are on the Georgia runoff elections.

The Prospect is committed to pursuing the stories around these elections, examining the Democratic gains amid historical turnout, understanding the nuances in the divided electorate, and sharing an informed picture beyond standard media narratives. What will actually drive the turnout for the contests on January 5th?
