Georgias primärval bjuder på jämna lopp med nationell betydelse

Väljarna i Georgia går till valurnorna på tisdagen för primärval som inkluderar uppmärksammade republikanska tävlingar om senatsplatser och guvernörsposten. Demokraterna satsar på att vinna två platser i delstatens högsta domstol i samma val.

I senatsvalet ställs den sittande demokraten Jon Ossoff mot flera republikanska utmanare. Bland de ledande kandidaterna finns kongressledamoten Mike Collins, som toppar tidig insamling av medel och opinionsmätningar, samt Buddy Carter och Derek Dooley. Tävlingen förväntas gå till en andra valomgång då president Trump ännu inte har gett sitt stöd till någon kandidat.
