The Republican primary for Georgia governor features a tight contest between self-funded businessman Rick Jackson and Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, with Jackson holding a modest edge in recent polls due to more than $50 million in personal spending since entering the race in February. Jones maintains strong backing from President Trump's earlier endorsement and legislative leadership ties, yet faces headwinds from Jackson's heavy advertising and endorsements from some state House Republicans. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Attorney General Chris Carr trail significantly, reflecting limited traction among likely voters. With early voting underway and the May 19 primary imminent, a large pool of undecided Republicans could determine whether either frontrunner secures an outright majority or forces a runoff.
