Donald Trump’s endorsement has won again.
Rep Mike Collins beat Derek Dooley in the Republican Senate runoff in Georgia.
Trump endorsed Collins.
Rep. Mike Collins (R) is projected to defeat former college football coach Derek Dooley in the Senate Republican runoff to take on Sen. Jon Ossoff (D) in Georgia this fall, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Collins’s victory is a major win for President Trump, who issued a last-minute endorsement for the staunch ally over the weeekend.
Tuesday’s showdown pitted the president and Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who backed Dooley, against each other in the competitive race. Collins will now face Ossoff, who is widely viewed as the most vulnerable Senate Democrat up for election this November.
Collins sponsored the Laken Riley Act in the House.
Despite his ties to Trump and the Republican base, Collins has argued that he can build a broad coalition, and he plans to use immigration as a contrast with Ossoff. In the House, Collins sponsored the Laken Riley Act, a 2025 law that requires immigrants accused of certain crimes to be detained. It is named for a Georgia nursing student killed in 2021 by a Venezuelan man who was in the U.S. illegally. Ossoff voted against a version of the legislation before backing the final proposal after Trump’s return to power.
MAGA is stronger than ever!
