Voters in Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Washington, DC are casting their ballots in primaries that will determine the nominees for various offices, including Senate and governor seats.
Georgia Primaries
In Georgia, Republican voters are choosing between Rep. Mike Collins, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, and former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, who has been backed by Governor Brian Kemp, in the Senate primary runoff. The winner will face Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in the November election.
Georgia Republicans are also selecting their nominee to replace Governor Kemp, with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who has been endorsed by both Trump and Kemp, facing a challenge from businessman Rick Jackson.
Alabama and Oklahoma Primaries
In Alabama, the Republican primary runoff for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Tommy Tuberville features Rep. Barry Moore, who has been endorsed by Trump, against former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson.
In Oklahoma, a wide-open primary race is underway to replace term-limited Governor Kevin Stitt, with Trump backing former state Sen. Mike Mazzei.
Washington, DC Primaries
In Washington, DC, voters are choosing a new mayor, with seven candidates vying to replace outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser. The city will use ranked-choice voting for the first time, which may delay the results.
The Democratic primary for the city’s non-voting delegate in Congress is also being held, with five candidates running.
