7 things to watch in Georgia, Alabama and other primaries Tuesday
CNN
Primaries on Tuesday across the South could represent the clearest chance for Republican voters to break with former President Donald Trump.
In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp looks poised to hand Trump his biggest ballot box rejection yet since the former President's own loss in 2020, with polls showing the incumbent Republican far ahead of former Sen. David Perdue. Trump made the Republican governor his top target of 2022. A Kemp victory would set up a rematch between the Republican governor and Democrat Stacey Abrams, who is poised to win her party's nomination.
Meanwhile, in Alabama, Trump's unendorsement of Rep. Mo Books will be tested. Trump initially had backed Brooks' Senate campaign, but took back the endorsement in March when the congressman suggested it was time for Republicans to stop looking back to 2020. Alabama voters will now decide if Brooks was right.
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is making a new digital ad buy in Pennsylvania aimed specifically at targeting Nikki Haley supporters, campaign officials told CNN, marking the latest sign of the Biden team’s growing efforts to try to woo would-be Republican voters who find Donald Trump unacceptable.
