Summary
Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, endorsed by President Donald Trump, advanced to a runoff in the Republican primary for governor. Jones and healthcare executive Rick Jackson were the top two finishers, with no candidate securing a majority. The runoff is set for June 16. Trump’s endorsement helped Jones, but was not enough to secure an outright victory.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Jones and Jackson advance to a runoff, with Trump’s endorsement still a factor. Jones questions Jackson’s support for the president, pointing to past donations to Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans. Jackson calls the attacks “just lies” and claims he’ll be Trump’s “favorite governor.” The runoff will test the strength of Trump’s endorsement in the Peach State.
And so, the familiar dance of endorsements and attacks continues.
