As voters in four states and the District of Columbia head to the polls on Tuesday, the influence of President Donald Trump will be put to the test. Trump’s endorsement is seen as a significant factor in Republican primaries, but its value will be measured against a $100 million campaign war chest in Georgia and an outsider candidate in Alabama.

Georgia Governor’s Race

In the Georgia governor’s race, Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones faces off against healthcare tycoon Rick Jackson, who has given his campaign over $100 million. Despite Trump’s endorsement, Jackson remains a strong contender, and the outcome is far from certain.

Alabama Senate Race

In Alabama, Trump is backing U.S. Rep. Barry Moore in the Republican primary runoff for the state’s open Senate seat. Moore faces former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson, who is positioning himself as a Washington outsider. The winner of the primary will be heavily favored to prevail in November.

DC Mayor’s Race

In the District of Columbia, the mayoral race features a democratic socialist, Janeese Lewis George, who is running against several other Democrats. The city’s new ranked-choice voting system will be used for the first time, which could lead to a delay in the results.

Georgia Secretary of State

In Georgia, the race for secretary of state has become a battleground for election denial, with both Republican candidates echoing Trump’s falsehoods about the 2020 election. The winner will oversee the state’s elections, making the outcome significant for the integrity of the electoral process.
