Filmmaker Jon Ossoff, who lost a 2017 bid for a congressional seat, emerged from a contested Democratic primary for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia and will face incumbent Sen. David Purdue (R-Ga.).
Ossoff, 33, received about 50.7 percent of the votes, according to votes tallied as of Wednesday night. If no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, a runoff would be triggered.
