Incumbent Republican senator Saxby Chambliss announced on January 25, 2013, that he would not run for re-election, making it an open-seat race. https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/140321-gop-sen-saxby-chambliss-to-retire/ Report: Sen. Saxby Chambliss to retire January 25, 2013 Joseph Cameron The Hill After a close and contentious primary campaign, businessman David Perdue and U.S. Representative Jack Kingston advanced to a runoff for the Republican nomination, which was narrowly won by Perdue. The Democratic primary was decisively won by Points of Light CEO Michelle Nunn, the daughter of former U.S. senator Sam Nunn. Also running was Libertarian nominee Amanda Swafford, a former Flowery Branch City Councilwoman. If no candidate had received a majority of the vote, a runoff would have been held between the top two finishers on January 6, 2015, after the 114th Congress would have been sworn in, but in the end, David Perdue defeated Michelle Nunn by a margin of 7.7%. Perdue's victory was part of a series of Republican victories across the nation.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/11/05/mid-term-election-republican-obama-reaction/18523449 Obama, Congress prepare for new reality after GOP sweep Doug Stanglin USA Today November 5, 2014 Nunn failed to improve on Obama's losing percentages in the state from two years earlier and any changes in the state's demographics were not enough for Democrats to prevail.https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2014-11-05/democrats-dreams-in-georgia-put-on-hold-by-nunns-defeat Democrats' Dreams Put on Hold by Nunn's Defeat Duane Stanford Bloomberg News November 6, 2014 Nevertheless, Nunn took credit for making the party competitive in the otherwise inhospitable South: "We put Georgia in play. We have reminded people what a two-party system looks like." Nunn's efforts to appeal to white voters were largely unsuccessful, with her not achieving 25% of the white vote, with conventional wisdom at the time stating that a Democrat needed 30% of the white vote to win.https://theintercept.com/2021/01/05/georgia-senate-jon-ossoff-raphael-warnock-campaign/ While Republicans Fractured, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff Teamed Up — and It Seems to Have Worked The Intercept Chidi George January 6, 2021 January 8, 2021 Republican primary Chambliss announces retirement Incumbent Senator Saxby Chambliss, first elected in 2002, went into the 2014 election cycle facing significant ire from conservatives.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/01/republican-senator-saxby-chambliss-wont-run-for-reelection-in-2014/272526/ Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss Won't Run for Reelection in 2014 The Atlantic Mimms Sarah January 25, 2013 August 6, 2026 Chambliss had infuriated conservatives during the 2011 United States debt-ceiling crisis, having been a member of the bipartisan Gang of Six that proposed a compromise solution to the crisis that was heavily criticised by right-wing groups. Chambliss had posted weak fundraising numbers heading into the 2014 cycle, and this combination meant he was widely considered vulnerable to a primary challenge. Chambliss announced his retirement in January of 2013. U.S. Representatives Tom Price and Paul Broun had already openly been considering primary campaigns against the incumbent, and following his announcement The Atlantic opined that they, U.S. Representatives Tom Graves and Phil Gingrey, and former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel were likely candidates for the seat. Early stages In the early stages of the Republican primary campaign, the field was deemed a "clown car" by The Hill due to the prominence of far-right candidates within it.https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/158922-gop-anxiety-grows-over-ga-senate-race/ GOP anxiety grows over Ga.

No candidate won more than 50% of the vote, so a runoff was held between the top two candidates, businessman David Perdue and U.S. Representative Jack Kingston. The 30.6 percent won by Perdue was the lowest ever for a first-place finisher in a Georgia U.S. Senate primary by either party in state history. http://editions.lib.umn.edu/smartpolitics/2014/05/23/is-a-rough-road-ahead-for-davi Is a Rough Road Ahead for David Perdue? Smart Politics Eric Ostermeier May 23, 2014 While Perdue advancing to the runoff was expected, Kingston beating out Handel to the second spot was something of a surprise. Kingston's strong performance was attributed by journalist Tom Crawford to his dominance in the regions of Coastal Georgia around the city of Savannah and Southeast Georgia around the city of Valdosta, where he achieved absolute majorities of the vote in many counties.https://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/how-jack-kingston-flooded-the-georgia-coast/oki744qPNa3p7DpwptiMiM/ How Jack Kingston flooded the Georgia coast The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Bluestein Greg May 22, 2014 August 6, 2026 Handel performed strongly in metropolitan Atlanta, but these areas suffered from relatively low turnout when compared to Kingston's base. thumb|250px|Initial primary results by county: #d75d5d Perdue #ffe0ea 20–30% #ffc8cd 30–40% #ffb2b2 40–50% #e27f7f 50–60% #37c837 Kingston #aae5aa 30–40% #87de87 40–50% #5fd35f 50–60% #37c837 60–70% #2ca02c 70–80% #217821 80–90% #ff9955 Handel #ffdac1 20–30% #ffcca9 30–40% #ffb580 40–50% #2aacac Gingrey #Acf2f2 30–40% #7ddddd 40–50% #6674de Broun #bdd3ff 30–40% #a5b0ff 40–50% Republican primary resultshttp://results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/51345/130487/en/summary.html UNOFFICIAL RESULTS General Primary/General Nonpartisan/Special Election May 20, 2014 Georgia Secretary of State May 26, 2014 David Perdue Republican Party (United States) 185,466 30.64% Jack Kingston Republican Party (United States) 156,157 25.80% Karen Handel Republican Party (United States) 132,944 21.96% Phil Gingrey Republican Party (United States) 60,735 10.03% Paul Broun Republican Party (United States) 58,297 9.63% Derrick Grayson Republican Party (United States) 6,045 1.00% Art Gardner Republican Party (United States) 5,711 0.94% 605,355 100.00% Runoff Kingston and Perdue advancing to the runoff was welcome news to establishment Republicans, as both men were relatively socially moderate and were not considered to be at risk of squandering the Senate seat with controversial comments. Kingston, widely considered the more conservative of the two men, immediately moved to secure right-wing support, declaring that he was the last conservative in the race against the "moderate" Perdue.https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/kingston-perdue-advance-georgias-gop-senate-runoff Republican hopefuls Kingston, Perdue advance to Georgia's Senate runoff PBS Simms Claire May 21, 2014 August 6, 2026 Kingston quickly secured support from much of Georgia's Republican congressional delegation, but this had the unintentional effect of allowing Perdue to portray himself as an outsider.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/01/georgia-senate-results-trump-hurt-republicans/617568/ The Price Republicans Paid in Georgia The Atlantic Brownstein Ronald Ron Brownstein January 6, 2020 January 7, 2020 The nine-week runoff was defined by negative campaigning, with both Perdue and Kingston running many attack ads. Kingston's main line of attack was that Perdue was an elitist who had presided over job losses while serving as a corporate executive, and that he had outsourced these jobs to Asia. Perdue in turn attacked Kingston as a Washington insider who had allowed the national debt to proliferate. Of particular note were the large amount of advertisements, run by both campaigns, that focused around comparing their opponent to a baby.http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2014/07/23/the_stupidest_primary_of_2014_is_over.html The Stupidest Primary of 2014 Is Over Slate Weigel David July 23, 2014 January 7, 2021 The runoff was held on July 22, 2014, which Perdue won with 50.9% of the vote.http://www.thegreenpapers.com/G14/GA Georgia 2014 General Election The Green Papers June 2014 Beg-Andersson Richard E.
