Trump backs Collins in Georgia runoff, intensifying GOP intra-party clash

President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins in Georgia’s Republican Senate runoff, a move that spots Collins with Trump’s MAGA backing in the final days before Tuesday’s vote and sets up a proxy clash with Gov. Brian Kemp. The endorsement comes after Collins led in the first round and follows months of behind-the-scenes jockeying; its ultimate impact on the race remains uncertain as Georgia Republicans weigh Trump’s influence against Kemp’s power in a must-win battleground state.
