Trump-Backed Mike Collins Defeats Dooley, Advances To Face Jon Ossoff

Trump-backed Representative Mike Collins defeated Derek Dooley, the candidate supported by Governor Kemp, in the Georgia GOP Senate runoff. NBC News and Decision Desk HQ reported Collins' victory, with early counts showing him leading 54.7%. This result marks a significant win for President Trump, whose last-minute endorsement helped his ally secure the nomination. Collins will now face Senator Jon Ossoff in the general election this fall following a contentious race that highlighted a rare Republican split.
