1. How was that decided - based on who they replaced?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Ossoff is youngest Senator since Joe Biden. But of course that doesn't determine Junior. . . nt

3. Well Warnock is older so it makes sense to me

Ossoff is just a pup. A very formidable pup that I am going to enjoy watching him using his investigative journalism skills in the Senate.

4. A senator's seniority is primarily determined by length of continuous service.

It is not about age, it is about length of service.

6. Look at the 1994 TN US Senate Elections when Thompson-R and Frist-R won on the same day.

Thompson-R won the Special Election. Frist-R won the Regular Election.
Thompson-R was the Senior US Senator. Frist-R was the Junior US Senator.
Warnock-D won the Special Election. Ossoff-D won the Regular Election.

8. I would think whoever gets sworn in first is senior.

But I am not certain about that.

5. But O comes before W in the alphabet.

[better]

7. I'll go with Senator Warnock, because...

His race got called first.
