Gov. Brian Kemp (R) is projected to win the Governor race.

Governor

Key race

A repeat of the 2018 election is underway in the governor’s race with Gov. Brian Kemp (R) once again facing off against Democrat Stacey Abrams. Abrams, formerly the minority leader in Georgia’s House of Representatives, lost the bitterly fought 2018 contest by fewer than two points. Since the loss, Abrams has developed a national reputation as a voting rights activist through her Fair Fight PAC and the political landscape in Georgia has shifted significantly. The rematch is closely watched and considered a toss-up.

Kemp (R) is projected to win. An estimated 99.9 percent of votes have been counted.

Key race

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) is running for his first full term in office after winning his seat in a special election in a 2021 runoff, an outcome that flipped the Senate to Democratic control. His Republican challenger, Herschel Walker, is a former professional football player whose messy campaign has surfaced multiple controversial allegations and past indiscretions. Walker is also one of 15 election deniers running for the Senate this year. The race is considered a toss-up, reflecting Georgia’s electoral shift from solidly Republican to decidedly purple.

The election has ended with a runoff between Walker (R) and Warnock (D).

Other statewide races

Incumbent Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) received national attention in 2020 after boldly refuting false claims of election fraud in the state from Donald Trump and other members of his own party. In the primaries, Raffensperger narrowly defeated his challenger, Rep. Jody Hice (R), an election denier who was backed by Trump. State Rep. Bee Nguyen (D) is his opponent in the general election, and she’s running with Stacey Abrams’s endorsement.

The Post estimated the lean of 2022 congressional districts using 2020 presidential results by precinct from Decision Desk HQ and estimates where actual votes at the precinct level were unavailable. Districts classified as “Strong Biden” and “Strong Trump” show where a candidate is estimated to have won by 15 percentage points or more. “Lean Biden” and “Lean Trump” districts had estimated vote margins between five and 15 points. “Close” districts show an estimated margin within five points.

HOW WE REPORT THIS PAGE

The Washington Post uses vote count data from the Associated Press, which uses a 50-state network of local reporters to gather election results directly from state, county and local elections offices. AP checks vote tallies against state and county election websites to ensure they are accurate. AP also calls winners when they are certain that a candidate will win. The Post is reporting AP race calls during the 2024 primaries. Read more details about AP's vote counting process.
