Collins, Dooley clinch Georgia GOP Senate runoff showdown
TL;DR
Rep. Mike Collins and former football coach Derek Dooley secured spots in Georgia’s Republican primary runoff on June 16 to face off against each other for a chance to challenge Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff. Collins has leaned into MAGA credentials and faces scrutiny from a House Ethics inquiry, while Dooley has drawn support from Gov. Brian Kemp and promotes an outsider platform with reforms like term limits and banning stock trading. Ossoff has built a strong campaign operation and remains the Democratic frontrunner in a politically divided state.
