Keisha Lance Bottoms has been projected as the winner against Republican Rick Jackson in the Georgia gubernatorial election.
Jackson, a billionaire health care executive, previously won in a close primary race against Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones.
Trump congratulated Jackson for running a “great TRUMP Campaign,” calling him “very smart.” Trump added, “He won against a great guy, Burt Jones, who has a fantastic future!!!”
Rick Jackson ran a great TRUMP Campaign. Very smart! Was with me on Saturday Night making a pitch. Amazing!!! He won against a great guy, Burt Jones, who has a fantastic future!!! President DJT
Lance Bottoms is the former mayor of Atlanta, who joined the Biden Administration in 2021 as a DEI-hire senior advisor.
The radical anti-White mayor previously marched with Black Lives Matter militants during the George Floyd riots.
Now, she’s your next Senator, Georgia. Good luck!
Lance Bottoms held an early lead with over 73.4% of the first 383,000 ballots counted, much of which were mail-in ballots.
Per the Associated Press, “Georgia law allows officials to begin tabulating mail ballots at 7 a.m. on Election Day. As a result, the first votes reported will include many of these mail ballots, which have generally favored Democrats in recent elections. In 2024, Kamala Harris also led early, but Donald Trump took and held the lead as in-person Election Day votes were counted.”
