We are starting to get reactions from Georgia’s representatives in the U.S. House and Senat over President Elect Donald Trump’s upset win Tuesday night over Hillary Clinton. Senator Johnny Isakson: I congratulate Donald Trump and Mike Pence on winning a hard-fought campaign. The genius of America is that the real power always rests with the
