Georgia billionaire Rick Jackson won the Republican runoff to become the nominee for governor in a nasty setback for President Donald Trump after he endorsed current Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones.
With 87% of the votes counted, Jackson took 52.7% to Jones’ 47.3%.
Jones led in the GOP primary in May but was unable to secure the necessary 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff, so he and Jackson advanced to the head-to-head matchup, with the healthcare executive pouring tens of millions into his bid as he positioned himself as the outsider candidate.
