Georgia’s races for governor and U.S. Senate are taking shape as candidates qualify and begin their sprint to the May 19 party primaries. Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff is framing his reelection bid as a chance for voters to check President Donald Trump's power. Republicans are targeting Ossoff over his lack of support for Trump. In the open governor’s race, Republican Burt Jones says he is not worried about GOP rival Rick Jackson's expensive entry into the race, while Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger faces lingering anger over 2020. Democrats running for governor are highlighting affordability issues and pitching their crossover appeal after 24 years of Republican rule.
