Donald Trump has endorsed Republican Representative Mike Collins over Derek Dooley in a Georgia Senate run-off. The winner will challenge Democrat Jon Ossoff in November's midterm elections. Trump's endorsement comes after early voting ended, and follows mixed results from his previous endorsements.
Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) labeled potential Republican rivals Mike Collins and Derek Dooley as 'Trump puppets' during a campaign rally with Keisha Lance Bottoms. The Democrats aim to present a united front against a divided GOP, highlighting the Republicans' continued infighting and fealty to Donald Trump.
Georgia Republicans are heading to runoffs for governor and U.S. Senate after Tuesday's primaries failed to produce outright winners. The Senate race will feature Derek Dooley and Mike Collins, while the governor's race runoff is between Burt Jones and Rick Jackson. Democratic nominees Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor and Jon Ossoff for Senate were unopposed.
