What to watch in Tuesday’s primaries in Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma and Washington, DC

CNN general

Key Points:

  • Georgia’s Republican Senate primary runoff is a proxy battle between Trump-backed Rep. Mike Collins and Kemp-backed Derek Dooley, with Collins seen as the frontrunner after leading the May primary; the winner will face Democrat Jon Ossoff in November.
  • In Georgia’s GOP governor primary runoff, both Trump and Kemp endorse Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who faces businessman Rick Jackson, with the winner taking on Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms in the general election.
  • Washington, DC, is holding a ranked-choice Democratic mayoral primary to replace Muriel Bowser, with leading candidates being moderate Kenyan McDuffie and democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George, potentially making DC one of the largest cities governed by a democratic socialist.
  • Alabama’s Republican Senate primary runoff features Trump-endorsed Rep. Barry Moore against former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson, with the GOP nominee heavily favored to win the seat vacated by Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
  • Oklahoma’s open governor and Senate races feature multiple GOP contenders, including Trump-backed former state Sen. Mike Mazzei for governor and Rep. Kevin Hern for Senate, with all seats expected to remain Republican; meanwhile, California voters are in a special election to fill former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s seat, with Democrats favored and a potential runoff if no candidate wins a majority.
