Democrats swore in three new senators on Wednesday, officially handing the party the Senate majority for the first time since they lost the chamber in the 2014 elections.

Newly minted Vice President Kamala Harris swore in Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff (D) and Raphael Warnock (D), who defeated GOP Sens. David Perdue (Ga.) and Kelly Loeffler (Ga.) in the Jan. 5 run-off elections.
