Jasmine Clark holds a commanding lead in the Georgia 13th Congressional District Democratic primary, set for May 19, due to her established record as a state representative, strong fundraising, and endorsements from groups including the 314 Action Fund. The April 2026 death of longtime incumbent David Scott removed the main barrier for challengers and shifted the race to an open-seat contest in this heavily Democratic metro Atlanta district covering parts of Gwinnett, Clayton, and surrounding counties. Traders have priced Clark at over 90 percent as the frontrunner based on her early momentum, outside spending, and name recognition among primary voters. A fragmented field including state Senator Emanuel Jones, former school board chair Everton Blair Jr., and others makes a runoff possible if no candidate reaches a majority, though recent polling trends and resource gaps suggest Clark is positioned to avoid that outcome absent major last-minute shifts in turnout or late developments.
