Trump Endorses Mike Collins in Georgia Senate Runoff

Donald 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.
