Trump-endorsed Senate hopeful Herschel Walker wins Georgia Republican primary, will face Democratic Sen.

Raphael Warnock in the general election in November, according to NBC.

The chamber is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats, and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris holds the tie-breaking vote.Early polls of the hypothetical Walker-Warnock matchup show the candidates virtually tied, according to RealClearPolitics.
NBC News has reported on the governor race:
Stacey Abrams wins Democratic gubernatorial primary in GeorgiaStacey Abrams is the winner of the Democratic nomination for governor in Georgia, NBC News projected Tuesday. She ran unopposed.Abrams will likely face a rematch with incumbent Brian Kemp, who was secretary of state when he narrowly defeated her in 2018. She accused Kemp of perpetuating discriminatory election practices that mostly affected Black voters.Since then, Abrams has become a leading voting rights activist. She has been widely credited for her efforts to register hundreds of thousands of voters through her organization Fair Fight and in helping deliver Georgia to President Joe Biden. That momentum, along with that of other organizers, also helped Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to secure Senate seats.Among the issues she has focused on is the expansion of Medicaid in Georgia.
At the time of this reporting, all four of these candidates have received over 50% of the vote, meaning there will be no runoff.
Now on to November.
