Multiple tier1 and tier2 outlets, including Reuters and AP, report that Democrat Jon Ossoff defeated Republican David Perdue in the Georgia Senate runoff held January 5, 2021, with the race called January 6. The extracted claim faithfully matches the passage's statement that Ossoff won in January 2021, and the post's surrounding fraud allegations are not part of the claim.
