Democrats are set to regain Senate control on Wednesday afternoon after Georgia Senate runoff winners Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are sworn into office.

Their campaigns announced Tuesday that the swearing-in ceremonies for Warnock and Ossoff—who defeated Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in the state’s Jan. 5 twin Senate runoff elections—will be held at the U.S. Capitol at 4:30 p.m, hours after President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris take their oaths of office.
