U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff has won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Georgia.

That's not a surprise. The incumbent was running unopposed in the primary as he seeks a second term.

Ossoff holds a commanding fundraising lead and has bided his time while his would-be GOP opponents have fought to gain traction on the campaign trail.

Three Republicans — Buddy Carter, Mike Collins and Derek Dooley — are competing to challenge him.
