Trump-backed Collins beats Kemp’s pick to take on Ossoff for Georgia Senate

In a significant political development, Rep. Mike Collins has triumphed over former college football coach Derek Dooley in the Georgia Senate Republican runoff, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown with incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff. Collins' victory is a notable win for President Trump, who endorsed him at the last moment, indicating the ongoing influence of Trump in GOP politics. This runoff's outcome could shape the balance of power in the Senate, especially given Georgia's swing state status and its impact on national legislative priorities.
