ATLANTA — Georgia's 2nd Congressional District is the state's only true toss-up seat, and Republicans are hoping to ride a conservative wave in the midterms and throw out longtime Democratic incumbent Sanford Bishop.
But first, there is a six-way primary to determine who the GOP nominee will be in the southwest Georgia district race. The candidates include longtime party activists, a former Trump administration official and a military veteran who quickly shot to the lead of the pack in fundraising.
With new boundaries that the Republican-led General Assembly drew in November, the district leans slightly to the Democratic Party and is about 49% Black. That means it is far from certain that a Republican will win the general election.
