Georgia election results: GOP gubernatorial primary heads to runoff

The latest: Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and billionaire health care executive Rick Jackson both advanced to the runoff, receiving about 39% and 33% of the vote, respectively, according to unofficial results from the Secretary of State's elections hub.

Zoom in: Coming in second on the Democratic side was Jason Esteves, followed by Mike Thurmond, Geoff Duncan, Derrick Jackson, Amanda Duffy and Olu Brown.

• For the Republicans, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Attorney General Chris Carr, Clark Dean, Gregg Kirkpatrick, Ken Yasger and Thomas Williams did not receive enough votes to make it to the runoff.

Catch up quick: The Republican primary was essentially a three-way race between Jones, Carr and Raffensperger until Jackson's late entrance.

• While Jones was endorsed by President Trump, polling suggests Jackson's advertising spending spree helped him turn the heads of primary voters.
• It also didn't hurt that he donated $1 million to the president's political operations, Axios' Alex Isenstadt reports.

The intrigue: Kemp has not endorsed a potential Republican successor, though he has shown support to Derek Dooley in the U.S. Senate race.

On the Democratic side, Bottoms' name recognition as Atlanta's former mayor earned her top polling numbers.

• Duncan, the former Republican lieutenant governor who notably rebuked Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and later switched parties, also gained support from some Democrats and left-leaning activists.

What we're watching: If Kemp will throw his support behind either Jones or Jackson — or wait until the dust settles to back whoever wins the runoff.
