What is a Run-Off election?

According to "Balletpedia.com" a runoff election is a second election held to determine a winner when no candidate in the first election met the required threshold for victory. This is a great definition a runoff election occurs when a candidate doesn't earn 50% of votes in the first general election.

Why and Where is this Runoff occurring?

This senate runoff election is occurring in Georgia and the reason this is happening because in Georgia specifically the 50% vote rule counts for candidates. According to Vox.com 3 million Georgians got out and voted Tuesday, January 4th. 

Who is running in the Senate race?

There are 2 senate state runs the first is between republican Sen. David Purdue and democrat Jon Ossoff. The second is between republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and democrat Raphael Warnock. The significance of the race is great because, if Jon Osoff and Raphael Warnock  win then the Senate will gain 2 new democratic senators, which is needed in order for their to be a blue wave. A blue wave is when the democratic party has the majority in the Senate than republicans, meaning there will be more democratic belief changes to American law and order. A blue wave is beneficial to the president elect Joe Biden because he is a democratic president so his first 100 days should be very successful.

When did the results release and Who won?

Tuesday January 4th, Democrat Rapheal Warnock beat Republican Kelly Loeffler with a 50.8% of votes going to Warnock and 49.2% of votes going to Loeffler. Wednesday January 5th, Democrat Jon Ossoff beat Republican David Perdue with 50.4% of votes going to Ossoff and 49.6% of votes going to Perdue. Meaning that the blue wave was accomplished, and democrats take control over the Senate. 

I hope you all enjoyed and I hoped this helped you understand the Runoff elections

How To Find Your Aesthetic

 Hi everyone today I'll be discussing how to find your aesthetic or individual style.  1. The Fit of Clothes The first thing that determines your aesthetic is how you want your clothing to fit for example do you like the fit of skinny jeans, baggy jeans, or flare jeans on your body. I prefer mom jeans on my body instead of a skinny jean fit. Also do you prefer your tops to fit tighter or baggy, for me I like a mix of both. How you like clothes to fit your body is big part of finding your style/aesthetic because, your clothing will be the base of your style.   (source: 7esl.com) 2. What Shoes You Like  The second thing that determines your aesthetic is what shoes you like and look good on your feet for example do you like sneakers, heels, or boots. I prefer sneakers. Along with the type of shoe you also need to figure out what style of shoe like chunky, platform, or flat sole shoes. If you're shorter maybe platform is your go to , or if you're tall...

Christmas 2020

 Hi everyone today I'll be discussing Christmas 2020 and what I'll personally be doing, and why this Christmas will be different this year for a lot of people.  (Picture Credits: Huffington Post UK) What I'm doing Normally for Christmas I travel to Texas to visit my Dad, its very fun and I'm surrounded by family. But this year because of COVID-19 I'll be staying here in Arkansas with my mom, which is still going to be fun. Today on Christmas Eve my mom and I went to the store to get desserts for Christmas.

Though I'm aware there are people traveling which I'm not at all hating on, but my family just doesn't feel comfortable leaving the state right now. Corona has really changed my life and many other peoples li...

4 of my favorite 2020 trends

 Hi everyone today I'll be talking about 4 of my favorite trends of 2020 this will include fashion and makeup. This is in no particular order, by the way.  1. Puffer Coats Puffer coats have always been around, but I feel like this year more people started wearing the cropped ones. I also saw stores like Target, Northface, and other stores sold these cropped puffers as well. I love these coats because I like how its cropped and they keep me very warm, which is always a plus.  2. Euphoria Makeup This makeup is based off of a TV show starring Zendaya called "Euphoria", in the show the characters wear very bright and glittery makeup. Though I never tried this makeup look I still love it so much. Its so pretty and I just love the look of it. This makeup is definitely a hot 2020 trend that I'm a very big fan of, and hope to try it out myself.  3. Dr. Martens I love these shoes so much, I was going to get them for Christmas but I wasn't sure what st...
