Georgia Republicans Battle in 3-Way Senate Primary as June 16 Runoff Looms

3 articles · Updated · NBC News · May 20

Georgia Republicans are voting in a three-way Senate primary to decide who will face Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November, with no candidate assured of the majority needed to avoid a runoff.
June 16 is the next key date if nobody clears 50%, sending the top two finishers into a second round after a contest split among Derek Dooley, Buddy Carter and Mike Collins.
Derek Dooley entered with Gov. Brian Kemp’s backing, while all three candidates had also sought Donald Trump’s endorsement in a race lacking a clear dominant front-runner.
Jon Ossoff has benefited from the GOP split heading toward the general election, after ending the first quarter with $31 million while Republicans risk a longer, more divisive nomination fight.
