Warnock announced in late January 2020 his run for Senate;[3] a jungle primary will be held on November 3, 2020 coinciding with all other general elections, where they irrespective of party affiliation will appear together on the ballot; such that no one gets a majority of the vote, the top two will compete in a runoff held in January 2020. Other candidates include interim Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, anti-establishment representative Doug Collins, as well as Democrats Matt Lieberman (son of Joe Lieberman) and Ed Tarver. Warnock has received the endorsement of the DSCC[4] as well as Barack Hussein Obama.[5]
He has praised a Louis Farrakhan supporter who compared the election of Donald Trump to 9/11 and supports defunding the police.[6]
Warnock is backed by many WNBA players after the latter sparred with Sen. Loeffler, who co-owns the league.[7]
He has been criticized by Loeffler[8] for having referred to police officers as "thugs and bullies"[9] and refusing to apologize over such.[10]
A debate between the candidates was held on October 19, 2020.[11]
