The Blue Wave Misses Big on Georgia's Supreme Court

Per projected results from NBC News, Miracle Rankin and former state Sen. Jen Jordan are both to lose their bids to unseat the state's conservative justices, Charles Bethel and Sarah Warren. Bethel and Warren-as well as Ben Land, who ran unopposed-have thus secured another six-year term, meaning the state will now hold onto the same conservative 8-1 majority that reinstated the state's six-week abortion ban in 2024.
