Georgia Rep. Lucy McBath beat fellow Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux on Tuesday in the primary in Georgia’s 7th District, a race that pitted two Democratic stars against each other after redistricting slashed Democrats’ control over the Atlanta suburbs.
McBath had 63 percent of the vote to Bourdeaux’s 31 percent when the AP called the race at 10 p.m. State Rep. Donna McLeod had 6 percent.
Bourdeaux is the first Democratic incumbent to lose a primary this year, following losses by Republicans Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina last week and David McKinley of West Virginia the week before that.
