Republican Brian Kemp Wins Georgia Primary, Will Face Dem Stacey Abrams in Nov.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp has won
the Republican gubernatorial primary. Kemp, who's backed by President
Trump, will now face Democratic progressive Stacey Abrams, who is vying
to be the first African-American governor in the Deep South since
Reconstruction, in the November general election. And African-American
activist Lucy Mc Bath has won her congressional primary race to
represent Atlanta's northern suburbs. Her son, Jordan Davis, was shot
and killed in 2012 by a white man who shot into the car of
African-American teenagers because they were playing loud music. Mc Bath
ran on a platform of tighter gun control.
