The other question: Who can emerge now as her clear alternative? Thurmond, Esteves and Duncan are clustered together, each trying to make the case that Democrats need a different nominee to flip the seat. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/…

Keisha Lance Bottoms is dominating the Democratic race for governor, but the latest @AJC poll shows the contest is far from settled. Bottoms leads with 39% support, well ahead of Michael Thurmond at 10%, Jason Esteves at 8% and Geoff Duncan at 7%. #gapol

Gov. Brian Kemp was already weighing whether to summon lawmakers back to Atlanta this summer to finish an election overhaul they failed to complete. Now, he has a far trickier question on his hands.

The most expensive Republican primary for governor in Georgia history is still a dead heat despite a staggering avalanche of ad spending and one of the ugliest intraparty fights in recent memory. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/…

The poll is a snapshot of a volatile race entering its final stretch: two wealthy front-runners locked in place, a huge bloc of undecided voters still up for grabs and no sign that the $100M ad war has delivered a knockout blow. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/…

A new AJC poll shows Jackson at 27% and Jones at 25%, a statistical tie within the 3.1-point margin of error. Brad Raffensperger trails at 14%. Chris Carr is stuck at 3%. And roughly 30% of likely GOP voters remain undecided.

That didn't take long: Lt. Gov. Burt Jones' campaign is out with an attack ad highlighting Rick Jackson's "I don't know" debate answer on whether he's employed workers who are in the U.S. illegally. "He's not just hiring illegal immigrants. He's lying to Georgians." #gapol
Greg Bluestein@bluestein

Jackson handed Jones a a campaign gift when he failed to directly answer whether he employed workers who are in the country illegally. “You don’t have illegals working for you right now?” Jones asked twice. “I don’t know,” Jackson said, before giving a halting explanation.

The most expensive Republican primary for governor in Georgia history is still a dead heat. Rick Jackson and Burt Jones have spent months battering each other in court, on TV, on the trail and at debates. More than $100M later, neither has broken open the race. #gapol

Former Gov. Nathan Deal backs Attorney General Chris Carr’s bid for governor at a stop in Gainesville. “Chris Carr is competent, he is capable of being a very good governor and - most importantly of all - he’s a good man. A good person. Good people make good decisions.” #gapol

Now GOP leaders are eyeing a reset. Top Republican contenders for governor and other offices want a special session to redraw the lines - if not for this year then for ‘28. Gov. Kemp’s office says it is actively analyzing the ruling. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/…

The ruling could give Georgia Republicans a new opening to revisit the court-ordered maps drawn just two years ago. Democrat @SairaForGeorgia told me it could be “potentially devastating” to efforts to fight “discriminatory gerrymandering.”

The U.S. Supreme Court’s voting rights decision likely won’t reshape Georgia’s 2026 elections. Qualifying is over. Early voting is underway. Ballots are set. Candidates are already running under the current maps for the May 19 primary. But 2028 is a different story.

You had to know the first and likely last debate featuring Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson would be brutal. But Monday’s Atlanta Press Club debate was even more ruthless than expected.

Republicans are competing over who can best champion Trump’s agenda. Democrats are battling over who can most effectively confront him. He remains the most powerful force in Georgia’s primaries. He may also be the biggest risk in November. #gapol
