One week til runoff: will endorsements reshape race?

We are today one week away from the July 24 runoff elections. Governor Nathan Deal weighed in on the Republican runoff that is attracting the most attention, endorsing Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle in his race against Secretary of State Brian Kemp. The winner of the GOP runoff faces Democrat Stacey Abrams in the November gubernatorial election. For his part, Kemp has picked up the support of Hunter Hill, the third-place finisher in the May 22 Republican primary.

"I am very humbled and I'm honored that the governor has the confidence in me," Cagle said. "To have his confidence, to have his endorsement means more to me than words can express."

He and Secretary of State Brian Kemp took place in a runoff debate on Channel 2 Action News on Sunday.
