Brad Raffensperger perd la primaire républicaine pour le poste de gouverneur de Géorgie

Le secrétaire d'État de Géorgie, Brad Raffensperger, a perdu la primaire républicaine pour le poste de gouverneur le 19 mai. Le milliardaire pro-MAGA Rick Jackson et le lieutenant-gouverneur Burt Jones se sont qualifiés pour un second tour. Ce résultat souligne l'influence du président Donald Trump au sein du parti.

Raffensperger s'est fait connaître en défendant les résultats de l'élection de 2020 en Géorgie, mais il n'a pas réussi à convaincre les électeurs républicains de l'État, de plus en plus alignés sur le mouvement MAGA. Jackson, un nouveau venu en politique qui a dépensé près de 65 millions de dollars de sa poche, et Jones, qui bénéficie du soutien de Trump, s'affronteront au second tour. La course a déjà donné lieu à des dépenses importantes, Jones ayant déboursé plus de 28 millions de dollars.
