What Went Down During The May 24 Primary Elections

The AP has called the Arkansas Senate Republican primary for incumbent John Boozman.

ABC News projects that Rep. Lucy McBath has defeated fellow Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux in a member-versus-member Democratic primary battle in Georgia’s 7th District in suburban Atlanta. McBath will now be favored to win reelection in a seat where Georgia Republicans drew as a Democratic vote sink — it’s 16 points more Democratic than the country as a whole. But McBath’s victory does come with a cost for her party, as she chose to abandon the 6th District, which was redrawn as a strongly Republican seat she would not have held onto. As a result, Democrats will lose a seat in the Atlanta suburbs.

To your point, Jacob, Jan Morgan is a fairly recognizable figure in the state. I haven’t seen her run a traditional campaign or give a lot of interviews, but she may have felt she didn’t need to because she already has a following.
