Republican Brian Kemp Wins Georgia Primary, Will Face Dem Stacey Abrams in Nov.

HeadlineJul 25, 2018

Back in the United States, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp has won the Republican gubernatorial primary. Kemp, who’s backed by President Trump, will now face Democratic progressive Stacey Abrams, who is vying to be the first African-American governor in the Deep South since Reconstruction, in the November general election. And African-American activist Lucy McBath has won her congressional primary race to represent Atlanta’s northern suburbs. Her son, Jordan Davis, was shot and killed in 2012 by a white man who shot into the car of African-American teenagers because they were playing loud music. McBath ran on a platform of tighter gun control.
