One of the two Democrats vying to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson this year could make history and become the South’s first black senator since Reconstruction.

Thurmond and Hadley are set to challenge each other in the July 20 Democratic primary. The winner will face Isakson in the Nov. 2 election.
