2026 Georgia Governor Race Heats Up: Esteves Gains Carter's Backing
The 2026 Georgia gubernatorial race is heating up, with candidates from both major parties gearing up for the election. While no Republican candidates have officially announced their bids yet, four are already vying for their party's nomination. On the Democratic side, seven candidates, including Jason Esteves, are running to succeed outgoing Gov. Brian Kemp.
Jason Carter, grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, has thrown his support behind Jason Esteves in the race. Carter himself launched an unsuccessful bid for governor in 2014, challenging Republican Nathan Deal. Esteves is one of seven Democrats in the running, aiming to secure their party's nomination.
Meanwhile, the Republican field is crowded with four candidates vying for the chance to face off against the Democratic nominee. Despite the interest, no Republican candidates have officially announced their campaigns yet, according to current public information in German-language sources.
As the 2026 Georgia gubernatorial election approaches, the race is shaping up to be a competitive one. With Jason Carter's endorsement, Jason Esteves gains a notable boost on the Democratic side, while Republicans are still in the early stages of their nomination process.
