Billionaire Rick Jackson defeats Trump-backed candidate in Georgia governor’s primary

In a surprising turn of events, billionaire businessman Rick Jackson has clinched the Republican primary runoff for Georgia's gubernatorial race, besting President Donald Trump’s preferred candidate, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan. This outcome highlights the deep divisions within the GOP and signals a shift in voter sentiment in a traditionally conservative state. Jackson's victory suggests that Trump's endorsements may not always resonate with the broader Republican base, indicating potential challenges for the former president's influence in upcoming elections.
