Trump-backed Mike Collins projected to win Georgia Senate Republican nomination over Kemp's pick

In a significant political shift, Mike Collins, backed by former President Trump, has been projected to win the Georgia Senate Republican nomination against Derek Dooley, who was favored by Gov. Brian Kemp. This outcome highlights the ongoing influence of Trump within the GOP, even as state leaders like Kemp attempt to assert their own influence. The race underscores the complex dynamics within the party and could have broader implications for Georgia's political landscape, especially as the state remains a crucial battleground in national elections.
