Georgia Republicans are under Trump's shadow as they choose Senate and governor nominees

Republicans are waging their latest fight over party identity in Georgia. Runoffs on Tuesday will decide who faces Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and Democratic nominee for governor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

The former college and NFL football coach calls himself a political outsider, but he's got support from Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. Trump hasn't made an endorsement. The president's choice in the governor's race is Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, one of Trump's alternate presidential electors in 2020.
