Republicans have had some setbacks this election year, with recent Democratic wins Wisconsin and Georgia.

Democrats are drumming up enthusiasm for their long-shot candidate in Republican former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's old Georgia district while their party is building nationwide momentum.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is trying to project political influence even as his term nears its end.

Republican state Sen. Burt Jones is running for Georgia lieutenant governor on a platform of fighting inflation and crime and improving education.

Georgia Republicans chose their nominees in two heavily GOP districts in Tuesday runoffs. In the 10th Congressional District east of Atlanta, Mike Collins beat former Democrat Vernon Jones. In suburban Atlanta’s 6th District, Rich McCormick beat Jake Evans.
