Georgia Republicans scramble to pick a candidate to take on Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff
Five Republicans are vying for the nomination, and a June 16 runoff is likely if no candidate wins a majority, officials said.
- Georgia voters head to the polls on Tuesday to cast ballots in competitive primaries for Governor and U.S. Senate, determining challengers for November's consequential midterm elections.
- Five Republicans vie for the nomination to challenge Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, while eight candidates compete to succeed term-limited Governor Brian Kemp in a splintered gubernatorial field.
- Campaigns spent nearly $124 million on advertising for the gubernatorial race, while more than one million early voters cast ballots with Democrats holding a nearly 15% turnout advantage.
- High candidate numbers make June 16 runoffs likely for major races, as any candidate failing to secure more than 50% of the vote must advance to a second round.
- These contests shape the battle for control of the U.S. Senate and the governor's office, with results potentially impacting Georgia's political trajectory through the 2028 cycle.
