It seems like he still is 14 points or more from the Democrat from November. Price won by about 22 in November. If Ossoff finishes with 48.6, that means 16 Republicans could barely beat him. If he can get all 5hose votes in the runoff, then the Republican candidate will need the votes of all the various Republican candidates.
Price was an incumbent. He also did much better than Trump in the district. Trump barely won it.
