If you're following the advanced election tracking of prediction markets like Kalshi, the market for Georgia GOP governor nominee flipped to Rick Jackson based on the elite knowledge of... reading public election results that showed him with more votes.
Another Tuesday brings another set of primary elections, highlighted by runoffs for U.S. Senate and Georgia's gubernatorial race.
And what a pair of high-powered, last minute endorsements by President Trump and Gov. Brian Kemp does/doesn’t mean…
One argument that Derek Dooley supporters made was that the political outsider would be the more electable candidate in a purple state like Georgia in a year that is likely harder for Republicans at the ballot box.
Republican runoff voters disagreed.
“It has been so bad that it has made me question a lot of the coverage I’ve done of states that I don’t live in,” @rtraister.bsky.social said of much national coverage of the Maine Senate Democratic primary.
(Another point for political reporters outside DC, too)

Tuesday's runoff results also mark a resounding political defeat for term-limited Gov. Brian Kemp, who declined to run in the Senate race and instead poured significant financial and political capital into backing Derek Dooley in that contest.
