Trump endorses Mike Collins in Georgia Senate primary runoff

President Donald Trump has endorsed GOP Rep. Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate race, providing support ahead of the primary runoff scheduled for Tuesday. Collins, who finished first in the May 19 primary with 40% of the vote, is competing against former football coach Derek Dooley, who received 30% of the vote. Collins has positioned himself as a strong ally of Trump, highlighting his authorship of the Laken Riley Act, which was the first bill Trump signed into law during his second term. Collins' campaign has aired a TV ad featuring Trump praising him. In contrast, Dooley has received backing from Governor Brian Kemp, who has publicly disagreed with Trump regarding the 2020 election. Dooley has outspent Collins in advertising since the primary, but Collins claims to have significant grassroots support. The winner of the runoff will face Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff in the general election.
