@cgtnamerica: Georgia is once again at the center of America’s political battleground as voters head to the polls in the 2026 midterm elections. Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is fighting to retain his seat against Republican Congressman Mike Collins in a race that could help determine control of the U.S. Senate and President Donald Trump’s ability to advance his agenda through Congress. Meanwhile, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is facing Republican businessman Rick Jackson in a closely contested governor’s race, with Democrats seeking to reclaim the office for the first time in more than two decades. If elected, Bottoms would become the first Black woman elected as governor in the country, and the state’s first Black governor. With more than 2.8 million Georgians casting ballots early, the results could reshape the state’s political leadership, influence national policy on immigration, healthcare and the economy, and offer an important measure of voter sentiment halfway through Trump’s second term. #CGTNNews
