Race set to test Donald Trump’s iron grip on the Republican party
Republican voters in Georgia will choose their Senate nominee in a runoff election on Tuesday, tapping either a congressman dubbed ‘Maga Mike’ by Donald Trump or a political outsider backed by governor Brian Kemp.
The winner – representative Mike Collins or former college football coach Derek Dooley – will face Jon Ossoff, a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2028 and the only incumbent Senate Democrat up for reelection in a state that Trump won in 2024.
