Georgia Republicans face lots of uncertainty after the finalization of primary results for several statewide offices, four of which will advance to runoffs. While Democrats have more decisive candidates in the gubernatorial race, down ballot races are still unclear.
Governor
Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones and Rick Jackson will advance to a June 16 runoff after neither was able to clinch at least 50% of the vote in the Republican primary, according to race results published by NBC News. The winner of the runoff will face off against former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who decisively won the Democratic primary, in November.
Jones (R): 38.3%
Jackson (R): 32.6%
Lance Bottoms (D): 56.2%
Lieutenant Governor
With current Lt. Gov. Jones running in the governor race, his seat is up for grabs with several viable candidates from both parties throwing their hats in the ring. Both political party primaries ended in runoffs with Senate President Pro Tem John Kennedy and state Senator Greg Dolezal competing for the Republican nomination, and former state Senator Nabilah Parkes and state Senator Josh McLaurin competing for the Democrat nomination.
Kennedy (R): 27.3%
Dolezal (R): 23.1%
Parkes (D): 39.4%
McLaurin (D): 41.5%
