Runoff dynamics this year would vary widely depending on the Senate makeup. If the Senate majority already has been settled, it could make it easier for Warnock to frame the race as a localized choice between himself and Walker.

But abortion still weighs on how many people voted. About 7 in 10 Georgians say it is an important factor in how they voted.
