Rep. Mike Collins won Georgia Republicans’ Senate runoff, setting up a November race against Sen. Jon Ossoff. The article describes the contest as a key Republican opportunity but notes that Ossoff is favored to win reelection.
Georgia Republicans chose Collins as their Senate nominee in a runoff against Derek Dooley after President Donald Trump endorsed Collins. Collins will face Ossoff in November. A University of Georgia political science professor said Ossoff’s constituent services and time in the state could help him hold the seat, even as the article describes him as more liberal than many Georgia voters.
The article reports that Ossoff had raised $60 million and entered May with nearly $33 million on hand, while Collins had raised $4.9 million through May 27 and had $1.2 million on hand. It also describes major planned outside spending in Georgia and notes that Democrats need to gain four seats to control the Senate. The article briefly discusses projections and candidates in North Carolina, Alaska and Ohio, as well as concerns about living costs and the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.
