Republican primary runoffs in Georgia and Alabama take place Tuesday, with voters selecting candidates for high-profile general-election contests and providing another test of President Donald Trump’s influence in both states. Multiple outlets report that the runoffs are centered on party nominations for Senate and gubernatorial races. In Georgia, the suspense is heightened by Trump’s last-minute endorsement over the weekend, in which he backs Rep. Mike Collins (R) in the runoff against Sen. Jon Ossoff. Coverage also highlights Alabama’s similarly competitive runoff contests, where Trump-endorsed candidates are seeking to secure nominations. Together, the elections in both states are presented as closely watched political benchmarks for how far Trump’s endorsements translate into primary victories. The outcomes are expected to determine which Republican nominees advance to the general election in each race, shaping the party’s positioning going forward. While both states feature multiple contests, the common focus across reporting is whether Trump’s endorsements and involvement help his preferred candidates win the GOP primary runoffs.
