Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York took to Twitter to celebrate his colleague's reelection as "a victory for Georgia, and a victory for democracy and against MAGA Republican extremist policies."

"This is a victory for my friend [Warnock], for his beloved state of Georgia, for a Democratic Senate, and for our country," Schumer stated in a separate tweet.

The top Senate Democrat also claimed the election result "shows once again that Democrats are in sync with America and MAGA Republicans are not," repeating a claim he made in November when Democrats maintained their narrow Senate majority.
