How was that decided - based on who they replaced? The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2021 #1

Ossoff is youngest Senator since Joe Biden. But of course that doesn't determine Junior. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2021 #2

Well Warnock is older so it makes sense to me exboyfil Jan 2021 #3

A senator's seniority is primarily determined by length of continuous service. Irish_Dem Jan 2021 #4

Look at the 1994 TN US Senate Elections when Thompson-R and Frist-R won on the same day. nkpolitics1212 Jan 2021 #6

I would think whoever gets sworn in first is senior. Irish_Dem Jan 2021 #8

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.

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.
