The results for the Georgia Primary have been mostly decisive for the Atlanta metro area. WABE politics reporters Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali return to “Closer Look,” to provide a recap of some of the top races in the state, including Georgia Supreme Court Justice Andrew Pinson's win against his challenger, former U.S. Rep. John Barrow. They also review Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ Democratic primary win for reelection, Judge Scott McAfee’s nonpartisan win for a full term on the bench and U.S. Rep. David Scott advancing as he seeks his 12th term in Congress.

 

Meanwhile, the race for two former DeKalb County commissioners, running to be the next top county leader, is heading to a runoff. Voters will decide if Lorraine Cochran-Johnson or Larry Johnson will be the next CEO of DeKalb County on June 18. Dan Whisenhunt, the founder and editor of Decaturish.com, brings us the latest.
