| 0:00.0 | Voters in five more states head to the polls in another big primary day, the most closely watched in Georgia, |
| 0:08.6 | where the power of Donald Trump's endorsement and tolerance of his big lie will be put to the test, |
| 0:14.6 | not only in the race for governor, but also for Secretary of State. |
| 0:19.5 | We'll also go live to Alabama, where Senate candidate Mo Brooks |
| 0:23.0 | surged in the polls after Donald Trump pulled his endorsement of the Republican congressman. |

| 1:45.8 | Former Senator David Perdue, whose loss in the state two years ago helped give Democrats |
| 1:50.8 | control of Congress, is running to unseat incumbent Governor Brian Kemp. Purdue, you'll recall, |
| 1:58.1 | was recruited by former President Trump to run against Kemp as payback for Kemp's refusal to overturn the 2020 election results. |
