Georgia GOP Shakeup: Collins Clinches Senate Nomination as Jackson Captures Governor Runoff
Mike Collins won Georgia’s Republican Senate runoff and will face Democrat Jon Ossoff in November, while Rick Jackson triumphed in the GOP governor runoff over Trump-backed Burt Jones. Across the map, Oklahoma’s major races moved forward: Kevin Hern won the Senate primary, Mazzei and Gentner Drummond advanced to the governor runoff, and Lahmeyer with Tedford advanced in the 1st District; Alabama’s Barry Moore also won a Senate runoff. Oklahoma’s Democratic governor candidate Cyndi Munson advanced in her primary. DC primary results were delayed until 8 p.m. voting ends. The day underscored continued Trump influence in several races and sets the stage for key general elections this fall.
