Georgia, Alabama, Texas and more: the primary races to watch on Tuesday (and why)
DALTON, Ga. – Welcome to the stormy center of the American political universe.
Rain canceled a fly-around by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Monday, as well as plans by other candidates, ahead of state primaries Tuesday that bring together the tempests of modern politics, from Donald Trump's revenge tour to Stacey Abrams and her Democratic voter turnout project.
Alabama and Arkansas also have primary races on Tuesday, while Texas holds a series of runoffs. But the minds of most political professionals are on Georgia, now a national bellwether for everything from control of Congress to the future of Trump's influence on American politics.
Kemp is favored to win his Republican primary, despite a challenge from former U.S. senator and Trump-backed challenger David Perdue. Trump made Kemp one of his top campaign targets because the governor refused to help him reverse the 2020 election results; the Republican divisions produced by the primary threaten the party's chances in the fall governor's race.
