Georgia Candidates Claim Parties’ Support

Georgia voters on Tuesday cast their ballots to choose their parties’ nominees for U.S. Senate, governor and lieutenant governor. Aside from incumbent Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff, the Peach State has new nominees to represent voters in the November general election.

Georgia’s top two candidates for both parties will head to their state’s runoff elections on June 16 after failing to clinch at least 50% of the vote.

On the Republican side, the contested primary came down to a narrow margin between billionaire philanthropist Rick Jackson and President Donald Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. Jackson received 33% of the vote, while Jones came in at 39%.

Their primary runoff election is scheduled for June 16.

After polling even in April, the race reached a decision point after Jones pressed Jackson over his history on illegal immigration, including illegal workers allegedly employed by Jackson’s landscaping companies.

“You claim to be tough on deportation, but you’ve got illegals working in your backyard as we speak,” Jones said. “Who’s the real Rick Jackson?”
