Georgia is considered a
swing state at the federal level, but the state has maintained a Republican lean at the state level, with Republicans holding all statewide executive offices in the
2022 midterms, where incumbent governor Brian Kemp was
re-elected in a rematch against
Democrat Stacey Abrams by a 7.5 percent margin. Republicans also control both the
state senate and
House of Representatives, together with Kemp's governorship establishing a
government trifecta, alongside complete Republican pick on the
state's supreme court. A year prior to the elections, the
2025 Georgia Public Service Commission special election resulted in two Democrats being elected to the Commission, both by landslide victories. This was the first time that Democrats won any seats on the PSC since the
2000 elections or any statewide non-federal offices since the
2006 elections. == Republican primary ==
