Trump’s Endorsements Lead To Impressive String of GOP Primary Wins

Andy Barr (R-Ky. ) won the GOP battle to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.

). On the Democratic side, former state representative Charles Booker beat Amy McGrath, a retired Marine fighter pilot, reversing the outcome from 2020.

Georgia voters also made their party’s picks for Senate and the governor’s mansion on Tuesday, with Trump backing Lt. Gov. Burt Jones against billionaire Rick Jackson in the Republican primary for governor.

Republican Gov. Brian Kemp (Ga. ) is term limited.

Neither candidate secured enough votes to avoid a June 16 GOP runoff, but Jones topped Jackson by 6 points — and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffersperger (R), who defied Trump after the 2020 election, was knocked out.
