Atlanta Dream co-owner and U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) lost her U.S. Senate runoff election to Democrat Raphael Warnock.
Multiple major news outlets called the election in the early hours of Wednesday morning. As of Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. ET, Warnock held a more than 54,000 vote advantage with 98% of the results released.
Loeffler has been in the Senate seat since December 2019, when Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp appointed her to the U.S. Senate following Republican Johnny Isakson's retirement.
In recent months, Loeffler, who became a co-owner of the Dream in 2011, has been criticized by a number of WNBA players, including from her own team.
