Georgia primary elections feature competitive races with national stakes

Voters in Georgia go to the polls Tuesday for primary elections that include high-profile Republican contests for U.S. Senate and governor. Democrats are pushing to flip two state Supreme Court seats in the same vote.

The U.S. Senate race pits incumbent Democrat Jon Ossoff against several Republican contenders. Leading candidates include Congressman Mike Collins, who tops early fundraising and polling, along with Buddy Carter and Derek Dooley. The contest is expected to advance to a runoff since President Trump has not endorsed a candidate yet.
