Georgia primary could be the starting gun for Democratic and Republican runoffs
Crowded fields could force runoffs in several races, with Republicans and Democrats choosing nominees who may shape control of Congress and state government.
- On Tuesday, Georgia voters head to the polls for a pivotal primary election, selecting nominees for the U.S. Senate and the governor's office in races that will shape the state's political landscape.
- The Republican gubernatorial primary has seen significant spending, with over $113 million in advertising, including more than $61 million for healthcare billionaire Rick Jackson's campaign, while Democratic candidates have spent only about $3 million combined.
- Contenders Mike Collins, Buddy Carter, and Derek Dooley seek the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, who faces no primary opposition while criticizing President Donald Trump's business dealings.
- If no candidate secures a majority, top two finishers will advance to a June 16 runoff, while separate judicial races remain contested following State Judicial Qualifications Commission allegations that Democratic candidates violated conduct rules.
- Four U.S. House districts remain open, including the 13th District following the death of Democrat David Scott, positioning Georgia as a central battleground for both parties seeking to reshape congressional representation.
