Georgia Elections: Bottoms becomes 1st Black woman governor in US; Ossoff wins reelection; voters approve 3 amendments
McLaurin will preside over the Georgia Senate and shape the legislative agenda after defeating Republican Greg Dolezal, AP projected.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff defends his Senate seat in a marquee race, while Republicans attempt to hold the governor's mansion after two terms under departing GOP Gov. Brian Kemp.
- Speculation regarding Ossoff's 2028 presidential prospects has persisted throughout the cycle, though Ossoff stated, "I have zero interest in running for president. I'm not running for president. I'm running for reelection to the Senate."
- Fundraising reports show Ossoff has eclipsed Congressman Mike Collins, raising about $137 million as of October 14, compared to about $11 million for Collins, who received President Donald Trump's endorsement.
- In the gubernatorial race, Republican healthcare executive Rick Jackson and Democratic former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms compete to succeed Kemp, with the winner potentially emerging as a key figure through 2028.
- Polls close at 7 p.m. ET, and if no candidate receives a majority of the vote, the top two finishers will advance to a December 1 runoff under state law.
