Jon Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms campaigned together in Georgia as Republican Senate and gubernatorial candidates continued competing in runoffs. The article highlights the Democrats’ coordinated campaign and the ethics allegations Mike Collins faces as he runs against Derek Dooley.
At a joint Atlanta rally, Ossoff and Bottoms criticized their potential Republican opponents and President Donald Trump. Their advisers described the event as the first of several planned joint rallies; Bottoms is awaiting the Republican gubernatorial runoff winner, while Ossoff is seeking reelection.
Collins and Dooley attacked each other at a debate ahead of their June 16 runoff. Dooley criticized an ethics inquiry into Collins, who called the matter a meritless complaint; the article reports that the Office of Congressional Conduct referred it to the House Ethics Committee. Collins also touted the Laken Riley Act, while the candidates differed on abortion access and both supported Trump’s tariffs and the war in Iran.
