Georgia will be on their mind

MONTANA’S HOUSE race may have body-slammed itself into the public consciousness, but Georgia’s open House seat is a better early test of what elections will look like in the Trump era.

The race in the Atlanta suburbs that’s drawn huge sums of campaign spending could show the Republicans how much of a drag President Trump really is when the election takes place June 20.

The wealthy district has been a Republican stronghold for decades — most recently held by Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price.

But fresh-faced Jon Ossoff, a Democrat, nearly pulled off an outright win in the first round of voting, and strategists on both sides say he’s locked in a tight race with Karen Handel, largely because of Trump’s unpopularity and the attempt to repeal Obamacare.

“Anybody who says this race is not a national race on steroids just isn’t really paying attention,” said Georgia Republican strategist Chip Lake.
