Polls have closed in Georgia, where voters participated in a significant runoff election to determine the Republican candidate who will challenge Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff in November. The runoff features Rep. Mike Collins, endorsed by former President Trump, and former college football coach Derek Dooley, supported by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. This race is crucial as Republicans aim to regain control of the Senate. Meanwhile, in the GOP runoff for Georgia governor, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, also backed by Trump, faces billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson. These elections are part of a broader voting day across four states and the District of Columbia, including a Republican runoff in Alabama and primaries in California and Oklahoma. The outcomes of these races could significantly impact the political landscape, particularly in Georgia, where Ossoff’s seat is a key target for Republicans.
