In the Republican primary in Georgia’s 6th District, there might be another runoff in store. McCormick leads Evans 42 percent to 23 percent. But Evans may be able to survive to a second round thanks to his endorsement by Trump, which could also give him a means to consolidate support from most of the other candidates to make for a competitive race on June 21, assuming McCormick can’t get a majority tonight.
