Georgia voters head to the polls Tuesday for a primary election that will set the stage for key November contests, with Republicans particularly focused on unseating incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff.

The Republican Party is hoping to reclaim the Senate seat that narrowly slipped from their grasp in the 2020 "blue wave" election, where Ossoff and Senator Raphael Warnock both won historic runoffs. This year's primary will determine who challenges Ossoff, with several Republican candidates vying for the nomination.

On the Democratic side, the primary will decide who faces incumbent Republican Governor Brian Kemp in the race for the state's top executive office. Kemp is seeking a second term and secured his party's nomination without significant opposition.

The outcome of these primaries will shape the battleground for Georgia's role in the national political landscape, with control of the Senate and the governorship on the line in the general election.
