Primary Season 2026 is truly winding down, but it's Tuesday, and there are still a handful of races left. Today's are runoff elections — in Georgia, Oklahoma, and South Carolina. Here's what's at stake:
Georgia
Georgia has a runoff for one U.S. House Seat: the 13th Congressional District. This one features two Democrats — Everton Blaire and Marcye Scott — vying to serve out the remainder of Democrat Rep. David Scott's term, following his April 22, 2026 death. Marcye Scott is David Scott's daughter and the likely favorite here.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma's Republican runoff race for governor pits state Attorney General Gentner Drummond versus former state Senator and Budget Director Mike Mazzei. Mazzei scored Trump's endorsement in this close contest.
The Democrat Senate runoff features Jim Priest versus N'Kiyla Thomas. And there's also a voter ID requirement on the ballot.
South Carolina
This is the race drawing the most attention, as Sen. Darline Graham (now the incumbent, following her appointment to replace her late brother, Lindsey) squares off against Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-05) in the Republican Senate runoff. (This will determine the GOP nominee for the November election.) As Jennifer Oliver O'Connell detailed, current polling indicates this one's quite close.

Will having the endorsement of President Trump and the Palmetto State's now Senior Senator, Tim Scott, be enough to give Graham the edge? We'll soon find out.
Poll closing times are as follows:
- Georgia — 7:00 PM ET
- Oklahoma — 8:00 PM ET
- South Carolina — 7:00 PM ET

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
