Collins, Dooley clinch Georgia GOP Senate runoff showdown

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.
