Georgia delivers split verdict for Trump, Alabama GOP picks nominee: The latest primary results
Key Points:
- In Georgia's key midterm primaries, Trump-backed Rep. Mike Collins won a Senate runoff against Derek Dooley, while outsider Rick Jackson defeated Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the GOP gubernatorial race; Collins will face Democrat Jon Ossoff in a crucial Senate contest.
- Alabama's GOP Senate runoff saw Trump-endorsed Rep. Barry Moore defeat Jared Hudson, positioning Moore for an easy path to the Senate seat, whereas in Oklahoma, Rep. Kevin Hern secured the GOP Senate nomination with Trump's backing after an incumbent was appointed to a non-eligible seat.
- Washington, D.C.'s Democratic primaries featured councilwoman Janeese Lewis George leading the mayoral race, potentially becoming the city's first Democratic socialist mayor, and Robert White Jr. winning the congressional primary amid ongoing tensions with the Trump administration.
- Upcoming primaries across several states, including South Carolina, Maryland, New York, Utah, Louisiana, Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont, Wisconsin, Alaska, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, feature high-stakes races for governor, Senate, and House seats that will shape control of Congress and state leadership.
- Notable contests include the South Carolina governor's GOP runoff between Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson, Louisiana's Senate runoff after incumbent Bill Cassidy failed to advance, and Florida's gubernatorial race with Trump ally Byron Donalds favored to win the GOP nomination.
