ATLANTA — U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath is in line to win a third term in Congress while her primary opponent, fellow incumbent U.S. Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux, will be leaving office after just two years.
McBath cruised to victory during Tuesday’s three-way Democratic primary in Georgia’s 7th Congressional District in metro Atlanta.
Initially, it appeared that Bourdeaux was on the path to another term in the 7th District after flipping the seat from Republican control in 2020. But when the neighboring 6th District was drawn in a way that would make it unlikely for a Democrat to win, McBath switched to run against Bourdeaux instead.
