2020 United States Senate election in Georgia


The 2020 United States Senate election in Georgia will be held on November 3, 2020, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Georgia, concurrently with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
The primary elections were held on June 9, 2020. The incumbent is Republican David Perdue, who was elected in 2014 and is running for a second term in the Class II seat. Perdue was unopposed in the Republican primary. The Democratic nominee is Jon Ossoff, a media executive and the Democratic nominee for Georgia's 6th congressional district in a 2017 special election. Had runoffs been necessary, they would have been on August 11, but Ossoff won over 50% in the Democratic primary, so no runoff will take place.
Since Georgia's other U.S. Senator, Johnny Isakson, announced his resignation in 2019, a concurrent special election for the Class III seat will also take place. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the regular or special election, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff election, to be held on January 5, 2021.
