Eighteen candidates are running in the special election primary to replace Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price in Georgia's 6th district on Tuesday. But only one is drawing national attention: Democrat Jon Ossoff. Democrats see a path for Ossoff to get 50% of the vote on Tuesday and win the seat outright, a result that would suggest the Republican-controlled House is in serious danger next fall. (President Donald Trump won the seat narrowly last November, but it has been reliably Republican for decades.) Trump even tweeted about the race on Monday morning.
