GA-07 (D): After a long wait to collect enough votes, we can finally report on the Democratic primary in Georgia’s 7th district, which sees a matchup between two incumbents, Lucy McBath from the 6th and Carolyn Bourdeaux from the previous version of the 7th. This matchup is courtesy of Georgia Republican redistricting, who turned the 6th back into a red district.
While Bourdeaux has a geographical advantage, McBath seemed better poised to win here because of the demographic and ideological fundamentals of the new district, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing. McBath is winning without risk of a runoff, leading Bourdeaux 64-31 with state Rep. Donna McLeod lagging at 6%.
