ジョージア州のブラッド・ラフェンスパーガー州務長官は5月19日、州知事選に向けた共和党予備選で敗北した。MAGA（トランプ派）の富豪リック・ジャクソン氏とバート・ジョーンズ副知事が決選投票に進むこととなった。今回の結果は、共和党内におけるドナルド・トランプ前大統領の影響力を浮き彫りにしている。
ラフェンスパーガー氏は、2020年のジョージア州選挙結果を擁護したことで注目を集めたが、MAGA色が強まる州内の共和党支持層の支持を得ることはできなかった。政治的新人でありながら私財約6500万ドルを投じたジャクソン氏と、トランプ氏の支持を取り付けたジョーンズ氏が決選投票で争う。この戦いには既に巨額の資金が投入されており、ジョーンズ氏はすでに2800万ドル以上を支出している。
