John Thune Campaigns With Collins in Georgia

Outlets agree John Thune campaigned in Georgia with Mike Collins and said Republicans believed Collins could win the Senate race. They also report that polling favored Jon Ossoff or showed Collins trailing. The articles share a campaign-focused account but differ in how much they foreground Collins’s standing and reports that national Republicans were prioritizing other Senate races; one headline characterizes that strategy as abandonment.
