Election denier Rick Jackson wins Georgia GOP governor primary runoff, defeating Trump-backed candidate
Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Billionaire Rick Jackson, an election denier who promoted false claims about Georgia's 2020 election, won the Republican gubernatorial runoff against Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who was endorsed by Donald Trump. Jackson's victory represents a rare defeat for a Trump-backed candidate, but still results in an election denier becoming the GOP nominee for governor in a key battleground state.
