Mike Collins Fires Campaign Adviser Over Social Media Post

A now-deleted post from Collins’s Senate campaign account insulted a woman connected to a political consultant involved in Georgia’s Republican Senate runoff. Center outlets emphasize the post’s backlash, Collins’s apology and staffing changes; some also note opponent Derek Dooley’s condemnation. Right-leaning outlets split between a poll showing Collins ahead in the runoff and coverage of the campaign post.
