Trump backs Rep. Mike Collins in Georgia Senate runoff against Dooley, testing his endorsement power
The Hill—Trump endorsed sitting House member Mike Collins in the Georgia GOP Senate runoff over former football coach Derek Dooley, a last-minute push ahead of Tuesday's vote. Collins, a MAGA-aligned trucking company owner, celebrated the endorsement — though Trump privately questioned whether Collins's abortion position would hurt him in the general election against incumbent Democrat Jon Ossoff. The Georgia race doubles as a test of Trump's endorsement muscle, with Alabama's Senate runoff the same week providing a second data point on his hold over Republican primaries.
