The GOP faces another month of intraparty fighting, as former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who won the Democratic gubernatorial primary, and Democrat Jon Ossoff, who will defend his U.S. Senate seat, can start looking to the general election.

Keisha Lance Bottoms is the Democrats’ front-runner as the Georgia primary for governor approaches. But her party rivals are trying to ensure she has to face a runoff.

Georgia is a swing state where both Democrats and Republicans are deciding the direction their parties will take in the fall in races for the senate and the governor's mansion.

The GOP primary campaign to succeed term-limited Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) has marked the most expensive in Georgia's history.

Bottoms, who was the mayor of Atlanta from 2018 to 2022, had been the front-runner in the Democratic primary.
