Need Ossoff and Warnock to win, which requires getting Perdue down below 50 (he is currently at 50.2).

No...

You ever drive from Raleigh to Brooklyn and you get in at like ten o'clock. And your body is exhausted, and while there is some level of relief, you still feel like poo poo. And you got McDonald's on the way home and feel like a fat gently caress eating it and just hate yourself, but at least you're not driving anymore?

It's like that.

EDIT: This is how I feel with the assumption Biden is going to win.

I don't think Biden will get PA. The votes are trickling in now. He needs a huge bump ( ~200k) to overtake trump.

Think the senate is 48-48 with Alaska, NC, and the two Georgia's to go. So it'll be 48-50 going into the two runoffs. Need them both.

Joe Biden should just turn all fracking sites into wind farms to spite PA when he loses it. I think it's gonna be mad close, but agree he's not gonna make up the difference.

Every financial and political resource needs to be thrown into those runoffs if they do happen. If the GOP keeps the Senate the US is going to burn for 2 years with Covid and likely a Depression and then flip hard right cause "Oh the Dems screwed everything up".

They are. Pretty sure Biden's going to win PA by more than he's winning WI. Philadelphia (Biden up 80-20) is only 70% reporting.

Lets not fool ourselves here. Warnock vastly underperformed in his race, and with Collins throwing his support behind Loeffler, that race is very likely to go R. Purdue is winning now, and there's no reason to think that would change in a runoff either.

Given how many superspreader events Republicans seem determined to have there, there might not be enough of their voters alive in a couple of months to vote in the runoff.

I keep seeing these numbers, but I'm having trouble forming a conclusion from it without additional numbers.

Like, what is the prevailing percentage of Biden/Trump in the votes being counted right now, how many are remaining to be counted, and how many need to be made up to top Trump? 538 had a chart last night with lines crossing, but I think it was more of an illustration example than data.

If the Mail-in votes skew the same, Biden could win Pennsylvania by over 100k votes. Big if though.

I'd say there's less than a 50% chance at a blue senate, but Trump throwing a nuclear sized tantrum over the election and COVID kicking into full winter mode may just win twin GA runoffs.
