Rape-Tape Fallout Hits MAGA Candidate in Georgia Governor Race

TL;DR Summary
Georgia GOP hopeful Rick Jackson is under fire after a leaked recording captured him telling a voter that women who claim rape to obtain abortion should 'prove' it; the remarks come as Jackson, a MAGA billionaire, pulled off a runoff upset over Trump-backed Burt Jones and heads toward a November race against Keisha Lance Bottoms. Democrats seized on the clip to attack conservative abortion restrictions, while Jackson's campaign insists he supports Georgia's current law, which permits rape/incest exceptions only with a police report.
