Midterms: Democrat wins in Georgia – election result puts Audi under time pressure
Audi announced its first US plant at a Trump rally for Republican Rick Jackson. He has now surprisingly clearly lost to Keisha Lance Bottoms - with consequences for the car manufacturer.
Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, has won the governor's election in Georgia, defeating Republican Rick Jackson, who was endorsed by US President Donald Trump. Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta, secured a significant lead of around 11 percentage points when the Associated Press declared the race decided. She will be the first woman and the first African American to hold the position of governor in Georgia.
Audi plans to build its first US plant in Georgia, a $4 billion project, but Bottoms has not publicly commented on it. The state's economic development department has stated that the Audi project aligns with Georgia's long-standing support for major automotive investments.
