Democrat Raphael Warnock is expected to defeat Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., In one of two crucial Georgia Senate rounds, according to the Fox News ruling office.

Loeffler encouraged his supporters early Wednesday to “keep fighting”, refusing to concede his second round in the Senate despite the victory of his opponent, Democrat Raphael Warnock.

Promising that every legal vote would be counted, Loeffler told his supporters his campaign saw a path to victory.

“Every American, stay in the fight with us,” Loeffler said after midnight, with the votes still being counted. “We will continue to fight for you. This is to protect the American dream. I will never stop fighting for this country, for the Americans, for each of you so that every Georgian has a voice in Washington.
