Georgia Republicans have settled two U.S. House nominations in runoffs.

A southwest Georgia Republican who went to prison for his actions inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, may come a step closer to serving in Congress when the state holds primary runoff elections in some U.S. House and state legislative races.

Voters are heading back to the polls in Georgia, two months after helping Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump secure their parties’ nominations for president.

Brian Jack sought to make a debate among Republicans for an open Georgia congressional seat all about his close ties with Donald Trump, while the other contenders are ignoring Trump’s endorsement of Jack.

An onslaught of pressure from the Republican Party base was intended to prod the GOP’s moderate and establishment members to support Rep. Jim Jordan for House speaker.

Brian Kemp tested negative for COVID-19 after having had “direct exposure” to someone who tested positive, but he is quarantining as a precaution, according to a statement posted to his official Twitter account Friday. In a separate announcement Friday, U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson of West Point, Georgia, said he had tested positive for the virus. CDC guidelines state that anyone “who has had close contact with someone with COVID-19 should stay home for 14 days after their last exposure to that person.” People can test positive several days after exposure even if initial tests come back negative. News of Kemp’s potential exposure comes three weeks into a new round of rising virus cases in Georgia. The governors of Oklahoma, Virginia and Missouri have previously tested positive for the virus.
