最受关注的竞选将在佐治亚州举行，届时将举行州长和参议员的初选。
Raffensperger预测共和党提名佐治亚州国务卿的获胜者
美国广播公司新闻预测，佐治亚州国务卿布拉德·拉芬斯佩格将赢得共和党提名。
Raffensperger一直在前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的阴影下竞选连任，特朗普在2022年中期选举周期的大部分时间里都在倡导格鲁吉亚高级官员下台，此前他们拒绝了他改变2020年选举结果的请求。
特朗普在国务卿竞选中支持众议员乔迪·希斯(Jody Hice)。这位国会议员放大了特朗普关于选举欺诈和违规行为的虚假说法——这一信息在周二似乎没有引起选民的共鸣。美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)预测，前总统的另一个目标布莱恩·坎普(Brian Kemp)将击败特朗普支持的大卫·珀杜，赢得共和党提名。

美国广播公司新闻项目凯蒂布里特，莫布鲁克斯将推进到决胜
在阿拉巴马州参议院共和党初选中，ABC新闻预计凯蒂·布里特和众议员莫·布鲁克斯将进入决选。
他们在竞争填补即将退休的参议员理查·谢尔比留下的空缺。比赛将于6月21日举行。
布鲁克斯在获得前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的支持后，在竞选中陷入困境。特朗普今年早些时候撤销了他的支持，此前特朗普关于2020年大选的谎言的拥护者布鲁克斯表示，是时候离开总统竞选了。但是一个受欢迎的保守派反税收团体增长俱乐部仍然支持他，并为他花费了超过440万美元。

麦克巴斯在获胜演讲中谈到枪支暴力:“我们筋疲力尽了”
周二晚上，在选举观察派对上向支持者发表讲话时，预计将在佐治亚州第七国会选区获胜的众议员露西·麦克巴斯(Lucy McBath)利用这个机会讨论了枪支暴力问题，此前德克萨斯州乌瓦尔迪的一所小学发生了大规模枪击事件，造成至少19名儿童和两名成人死亡。
“今晚我来做一个演讲，但现在我不得不做另一个，”麦克巴斯在简要感谢选民和志愿者后说，“因为就在几个小时前，我们又一次用坐在我们学校里的孩子们的鲜血为我们街道上的战争武器付出了代价。”
麦克巴斯在2018年成为全国瞩目的人物，在她的儿子乔丹在佛罗里达州的一个加油站被枪杀后，她成为枪支控制的主要倡导者。她在周二晚上描述了父母对孩子安全的“极度恐惧”。
“很快就发生的暴力事件以漫不经心的冷酷无情和卑鄙的频率重演，”麦克巴斯说，他提到了最近在纽约布法罗一家杂货店发生的导致10人死亡的枪击事件，以及过去在康涅狄格州牛顿和南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿发生的悲剧。
麦克巴斯说:“我们不可能是唯一一个一方袖手旁观的国家，因为孩子们被迫恐惧地捂住自己的脸。”。“我们已经筋疲力尽了，我们所有人，美国的大多数。”

ABC新闻预测露西·麦克巴斯将赢得佐治亚州的民主党初选
美国广播公司新闻预测，众议员露西·麦克巴斯将在佐治亚州第七国会选区赢得民主党提名，在重划选区后击败众议员卡罗琳·布尔多，使两位现任议员相互竞争。
麦克巴斯在2018年将佐治亚州的第六国会选区从红色变为蓝色。她现在是赢得11月大选的推定领先者，该选区包括亚特兰大郊区。
她初选获胜的同一天，德克萨斯州一所小学发生大规模枪击事件。麦克巴斯在她的儿子乔丹·戴维斯于2012年死于枪支暴力后，一直倡导枪支管制。他在佛罗里达州的一个加油站被一名男子开枪打死，该男子抱怨他和他朋友的音乐太吵。
在一份声明中，麦克巴斯周二表示，作为一个国家，我们比这更好，这是“我们必须采取行动，现在就行动。”
Primary election updates: Brad Raffensperger wins primary as Trump's picks fall in Georgia
May ends with another round of notable primary elections on Tuesday, this time in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Texas.
The most-watched races will be in Georgia, with primaries for governor and the Senate.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will win the Republican nomination, ABC News has projected.
Raffensperger has been running for reelection under the cloud of former President Donald Trump, who has spent much of the 2022 midterm election cycle advocating for the takedown of Georgia’s top officials after they rebuffed his requests to change the 2020 election results.
Trump endorsed Rep. Jody Hice in the secretary of state's race. The congressman has amplified Trump’s false claims about election fraud and irregularities -- a message that didn't appear to resonate with voters on Tuesday. ABC News has projected that Gov. Brian Kemp -- another target of the ex-president -- will win the Republican nomination over Trump-backed David Perdue.
In the Alabama Senate Republican primary, ABC News projects that Katie Britt and Rep. Mo Brooks will advance to a runoff.
They are competing to fill the seat left open by retiring Sen. Richard Shelby. The contest will take place on June 21.
Brooks flailed in the race after once securing the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Trump rescinded his support earlier this year after Brooks, a champion of Trump’s lies about the 2020 election, suggested it was time to move on from the presidential race. But Club for Growth, a popular conservative anti-tax group, is still backing him and has spent more than $4.4 million on his behalf.
Britt, a former Shelby aide, has secured the endorsement of the outgoing senator as well as Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
Addressing supporters at an election watch party on Tuesday night, Rep. Lucy McBath, the projected winner in Georgia's 7th Congressional District, used the moment to discuss gun violence after a mass shooting at an elementary school left at least 19 children and two adults dead in Uvalde, Texas.
"Tonight I came to give one speech but I am now forced to make another," McBath said after briefly thanking voters and volunteers, "because just hours ago, we paid for the weapons of war on our streets again with the blood of little children sitting in our schools."
McBath rose to national prominence in 2018, becoming a leading advocate for gun control after her son, Jordan, was shot and killed at a gas station in Florida. She described on Tuesday night the "all-consuming fear" that parents feel about their children’s safety.
"The violence that took my soon has been replayed with casual callousness and despicable frequency," McBath said, citing the recent shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, that left 10 people dead, as well as past tragedies in Newton, Connecticut, and Charleston, South Carolina.
"We cannot be the only nation where one party sits on their hands as children are forced to cover their faces in fear," McBath said. "We are exhausted, all of us, the American majority."
Rep. Lucy McBath will win the Democratic nomination in Georgia’s 7th Congressional District, ABC News has projected, besting Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux after redistricting pitted the two incumbents against each other.
McBath flipped Georgia’s 6th Congressional District from red to blue in 2018. She is now the presumptive front-runner to win the November general election in the solidly Democratic district, which includes the Atlanta suburbs.
Her primary win comes on the same day as a mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas. McBath has been advocating for gun control following the death of her son, Jordan Davis, from gun violence back in 2012. He was shot and killed at a gas station in Florida by a man who complained that his and his friend's music was too loud.
In a statement, McBath said Tuesday that we as a country our better than this and that it is "imperative we act, and act now."
