• Republicans fight over second place in Georgia special election. (David Drucker) — Republicans running in a crucial special House election in Georgia are scrambling for second place and a spot in an expected runoff just days before the vote. Democrat Jon Ossoff is expected to win round one in the Republican-leaning, suburban Atlanta 6th district, previously held by Health and Human Service Secretary Tom Price, in part because of the nasty GOP infighting. The crowded GOP field was warring with each other ahead of Tuesday’s jungle primary. Through television ads, mailers and robocalls, Republicans were arguing over who was more conservative, who was more loyal to President Trump, and who would be the strongest candidate in the runoff. A Republican has held the district since 1979, when New Gingrich, who rose to become House speaker, assumed office. Top contenders include Bob Gray, a businessman and city councilman; Karen Handel, the former Georgia secretary of state and a 2014 Senate candidate; Judson Hill, a state senator; and Dan Moody, a businessman and former state legislator.
