41 OUTLETSDonald Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins in Georgia’s Republican Senate runoff against Derek Dooley. The race was to choose the Republican nominee to challenge Sen. Jon Ossoff. Left-leaning outlets place the endorsement amid Republican divisions and concerns about Collins’s controversies or general-election prospects. Center outlets mostly treat it as a development in the GOP runoff and a test of Trump’s influence, often noting Brian Kemp’s support for Dooley. Right-leaning outlets foreground the endorsement and, in some coverage, Trump’s praise of Collins or the broader test of his influence.
