Georgia's Republican Senate primary enters its final week with polling showing a majority of voters remain undecided, raising the likelihood of a June runoff election. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll indicates the GOP field has failed to coalesce around a clear frontrunner ahead of the primary vote.

Rep. Buddy Carter is among the Republican candidates competing in the primary, telling CBS News that Republicans need their "best player on the field" for the general election. The crowded primary field reflects ongoing divisions within the Georgia Republican Party.

Outgoing Governor Brian Kemp has made a final appeal to Georgia voters, endorsing Derek Dooley for the Senate seat as Kemp's gubernatorial term nears its end. The governor's endorsement serves as a test of his influence within the state Republican Party as he prepares to leave office.

On the Democratic side, the party has nominated Graham Platner, who has centered his campaign around a working-class persona. Platner's background includes experience as an oysterman and military veteran, alongside prep school education, creating what observers describe as a complex class narrative that defies easy categorization.

Democrats view the Georgia Senate race as a key opportunity to flip control of the chamber. The outcome of both the Republican primary and the general election could significantly impact the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
