U.S. Senate
Freshman Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, who won a special election in 2020, is seeking his first full six-year term. He faces only a nominal primary challenge before moving on to a competitive general election against the likely GOP nominee, Herschel Walker.
Governor
Gov. Brian Kemp is seeking a second term. He has drawn a primary challenge from former Sen. David Purdue, recruited into the race and endorsed by Donald Trump. It looks like Kemp will finish first, possibly even clearing the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. Stacey Abrams is unopposed for the Democratic nomination.
Secretary of State
Incumbent Republican Brad Raffensperger has drawn a Trump-endorsed challenger, Rep. Jody Hice (GA-10). This may end up going to a runoff.
On the Democratic side, a late April poll showed 60% undecided. It will be worth watching who emerges the nominee, as the November election is expected to be competitive.
U.S. House
These primaries will be conducted using redistricted congressional boundaries. The state's 14 districts don't offer much general election suspense, but there are a few nomination battles that we're watching.
