Atlanta governor race tests two-decade GOP control

And, Christine, this race has drawn national attention. We are watching to see tonight if, in fact, Georgians are ready for a change in the governor's office. We have seen Republicans hold on to this seat for more than two decades. Of course, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is hoping to change that tonight. Now, she is facing Republican newcomer Rick Jackson, the billionaire businessman pouring approximately $220 million into his campaign. And that spending advantage has allowed Jackson to blanket the air Airwaves with advertising, including attacks on Bottoms' record as mayor. Now, tonight, one of the biggest questions is whether Democratic enthusiasm translates into votes. We are also watching the results in Metro Atlanta and how those margins compare with Republican support in rural Georgia. Depending on how close this race remains, it could take some time before we know who Georgia's next governor will be. Now, Bottoms wrapping up a five-city statewide tour in Smyrna today where she talked to reporters. Here's what she had to say. I know that we have done all humanly possible the things that we can do. I don't know what else we could have done. I hold my head high based on the campaign that we've run, given the odds that we were up against, and the rest is up to God and the people. And she will be watching election returns here with family and supporters here at the Marriott Marquis. Doors will open in just a few hours. And that's Deidre Dukes in downtown Atlanta.
