Georgia Primary Night Preview

On Georgia’s high-stakes primary day, Greg Bluestein is joined by Patricia Murphy and Tia Mitchell to break down the races most likely to shape the state’s political future. They examine whether billionaire candidate Rick Jackson can buy his way into a GOP governor runoff, whether former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms can avoid overtime in the Democratic race, and why Georgia’s Supreme Court contests have become unexpectedly fierce political battlegrounds. Then Greg speaks with Steve Kornacki, chief data analyst for NBC News, about the turnout numbers, counties and warning signs he’ll be watching as results roll in Tuesday night — and what Georgia’s electorate could signal for national politics.
