Joe Biden is the president-elect, but the U.S. elections are not over yet. In the state of Georgia, there will be a runoff election for both Senate seats on January 5, 2021. It is the Democrats' last immediate chance to achieve a narrow majority in the US Senate.

With so much at stake, we went to Georgia to take a closer look at the state’s history and politics, and to learn why this southern state with a decades-long and firmly rooted Republican tradition has become so important to the Democratic party.
