Trump endorses Mike Collins in Georgia Senate runoff
Georgia Senate runoff: Trump backs Mike Collins in pivotal GOP race See how the endorsement could shape the fight for Senate control
President Donald Trump has endorsed Rep. Mike Collins in the Georgia Republican Senate runoff, giving the congressman a late boost in a race that could help determine which party controls the Senate after the midterms.
Collins is facing former college football coach Derek Dooley in Tuesday's runoff after neither candidate won a majority in last month's primary. Dooley has the backing of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, while Collins has emphasized his close alignment with Trump and the MAGA movement.
The winner will go on to face Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, whom Republicans see as one of their top targets in 2026. The contest comes as Trump continues to test his influence in closely watched GOP races across the country.
