Jones and Jackson head to GOP runoff for Georgia governor race
Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and healthcare billionaire Rick Jackson have advanced to the June 16 Republican runoff for Georgia governor, extending a bruising campaign battle.President Donald Trump endorsed Jones last year, and a Jones win would boost Trump’s influence in a critical battleground state. The president’s kingmaker record in Georgia had been shaky, failing to dislodge Gov. Brian Kemp and others in 2022 and backing Herschel Walker in a Senate loss that year.The Republican nominee will try to hold onto the governor’s office for the party, which has won every election to the post since 2002.Jackson is betting that his outside pitch will win over antiestablishment conservatives (AP Photo/Brynn Anderson)Democratic voters are also considering who should lead the party’s effort to win the governor’s office.
