Incumbents mostly dominated Georgia’s May primary elections. 

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who are both involved in the Georgia election interference case, easily defeated their challengers. Metro Atlanta’s mostly-Democratic congressional delegation vanquished opponents in reshaped districts. And Supreme Court Justice Andrew Pinson retained his seat on the bench, despite efforts from his opponent to make the race a proxy for the debate over abortion.
