Georgia Republicans narrowly chose Rick Jackson, a healthcare executive, over Donald Trump's preferred candidate, Burt Jones, for the gubernatorial nomination. Trump's pick for Senate, Rep. Mike Collins, won his runoff.
Rep. Mike Collins celebrated Donald Trump's endorsement in Georgia's Republican U.S. Senate runoff, dismissing concerns about the former president's backing. Trump praised Collins for his loyalty, while criticizing challenger Derek Dooley for not supporting Trump's false claims about the 2020 election. The race is a key contest for the November midterm elections.
Days before Georgia's U.S. Senate runoff, President Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins over Derek Dooley, backing a loyalist despite some conservative concerns. Collins, a second-term congressman, is a staunch ally of Trump's 'Make America Great Again' movement.
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.
