U.S. House incumbents log primary victories

U.S. Reps. Drew Ferguson, R-West Point, and Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, have each won their respective primaries. So have Reps. Andrew Clyde, R-Athens, and Nikema Williams, D-Atlanta.

All four faced primary opponents who were considered little threat to them advancing to the general election.

Ferguson’s seat in exurban Atlanta and Clyde’s in northeast Georgia are considered solidly Republican, meaning they are all-but-certain to win another term in office in November. Williams’ seat in the heart of Atlanta is a Democratic stronghold, meaning she also is likely to coast to victory during the general election.
