Businessman Jackson beats Trump-endorsed Jones in Georgia gubernatorial runoff

In a surprising political twist, businessman Stacey Abrams' protégé, Stacey Jackson, defeated Trump-endorsed David Perdue Jones in the Georgia gubernatorial runoff, marking a significant win for Democrats in a state that's become a battleground for presidential elections. Jackson's victory is notable as it bucks the trend of recent Republican successes in Georgia's top political races. He'll now face former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in November, who breezed through her primary without needing a runoff. This outcome could shift the balance of power in a state that's critical for both national and state-level politics.
