The 2026 Georgia governor election features Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms and Republican Rick Jackson. The governorship is open and is currently controlled by Republicans. In 2024, Donald Trump won Georgia by 2.2%, and Republicans are expected to narrowly retain the state's governorship in 2026. Georgia's mix of urban, suburban, and rural voters makes the statewide margin especially important in a competitive governor race. A win would be important for Republicans as they try to defend their coalition of 26 governorships going into the midterms.
