ATLANTA — A test of Donald Trump's influence in the most politically divided state in the nation. A marquee race for Georgia's top job that could set up a rematch between two archrivals. A chance for Democrats to prove the energy behind their 2020 success was no anomaly.
Georgia's swing-state status will be on full display during Tuesday's primary, when voters will decide party nominees for statewide, congressional and legislative offices that will define the November election and help set the national political agenda.
The top matchup on the Republican ballot is the competition between Gov. Brian Kemp and former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, who entered the race in December with a head of steam from Trump's endorsement but is now limping toward the finish line.
