Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger lost the Republican primary for governor, with Rick Jackson and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones moving to a runoff. The result highlights ongoing Trump influence in Georgia’s GOP, as both candidates seek MAGA support while Raffensperger’s defense of the 2020 election failed to gain traction in a costly, drawn-out race.
Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's Secretary of State known for refusing to overturn the 2020 election results despite pressure from Donald Trump, announced his run for governor in 2026. He faces a Republican primary with other candidates and has pledged a conservative platform, despite being scorned by Trump and his allies. Raffensperger's campaign will test the GOP electorate's tolerance for a candidate who defied Trump, and he aims to focus on issues like tax cuts, law and order, and conservative social policies.
