Georgia Republicans are weighing three candidates in Tuesday’s Senate primary to challenge Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff. The choice matters nationally because the article says Democrats have little chance of winning a Senate majority if Ossoff loses.
Rep. Mike Collins, Rep. Buddy Carter and former football coach Derek Dooley are competing for the Republican nomination. Dooley is backed by Gov. Brian Kemp, while President Donald Trump has not endorsed a candidate; the article says a runoff could follow on June 16.
