(AP) \u2014 In the closing stretch of Georgia\u2019s Republican U.S. Senate runoff, Rep. Mike Collins celebrated his 11th-hour endorsement from Donald Trump on Sunday and dismissed any ideas that the Republican president\u2019s stamp of approval is a risky bet in a potential showdown with Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/14\/healthy-or-on-a-road-to-ruin-county-government-is-bigger-than-ever-making-its-future-full-of-uncertainty\/\">Healthy or on a road to ruin? County government is bigger than ever, making its future full of uncertainty.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump disclosed his choice of Collins over former football coach Derek Dooley in a middle-of-the-night social media post that praised the second-term congressman for his loyalty. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always said that President Trump has this just impeccable ability to put his thumb on the scale at the right time,\u201d Collins said at a campaign stop Sunday in the northern Atlanta exurbs. <\/p>\n<p>The Republican candidates are competing Tuesday for the chance to unseat Ossoff in one of the most closely watched campaigns in the November midterm elections. Dooley, a political newcomer, is backed by outgoing Gov. Brian Kemp, who has clashed with Trump in the past. <\/p>\n<p>Collins called it \u201cencouraging\u201d to have the president\u2019s approval. Looking past Dooley to the potential matchup with Ossoff, the congressman said he planned to invited Trump to Georgia, even as the president\u2019s approval ratings have slipped in the battleground state that he won twice and lost once. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d love to have President Trump in Georgia every day, any day he wants to come down,\u201d Collins said.<\/p>\n<h4>Collins has been a stalwart Trump ally<\/h4>\n<p>Collins has backed Trump\u2019s \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d movement since his first House campaign in 2022, and the president said in his announcement early Sunday on social media that the trucking company owner and second-term congressman \u201chas been with me from the very beginning\u201d and is a \u201dtrue friend, fighter, and WARRIOR.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know Derek Dooley, and neither does anyone else, but he seems like a nice person,\u201d Trump wrote, while noting that Dooley did not vote in 2016 or 2020, when Trump was on the ballot. Dooley has acknowledged going nearly two decades without voting but says he did vote for Trump in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also complained that Dooley \u2014 accurately \u2014 said Trump lost Georgia to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020, refusing to back the president\u2019s lie that the election was stolen from him. <\/p>\n<p>Collins has consistently echoed Trump\u2019s false claims about his defeat and, on Sunday, called the 2020 election \u201clegitimately rigged,\u201d arguing that elections officials in Georgia and other states erred by expanding absentee voting and, in the congressman\u2019s views, relaxing other election controls. <\/p>\n<p>Collins led Dooley in the May 19 primary but neither surpassed 40%, leaving many Republican votes up for grabs. Trump\u2019s endorsement has proved powerful as he shapes a party identity that is increasingly indistinguishable from his own. <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Still, the president\u2019s choice puts him at odds with more traditional Republicans, including Kemp. The endorsement is reminiscent of Trump\u2019s decision to back Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton before his victory over U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in that state\u2019s recent primary runoff. <\/p>\n<h4>Dooley maintains confidence despite Trump\u2019s decision<\/h4>\n<p>Collins supporters cheered enthusiastically at the mention of Trump\u2019s endorsement. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe waited a little bit,\u201d said James Haddad, a 66-year-old retired engineer from Woodstock in Cherokee County. \u201cBut he\u2019s studied the candidates, and he did the right thing. It\u2019s going to help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dooley responded to the president\u2019s pick by saying Georgia voters do not want \u201ctypical D.C. politicians like Mike Collins.\u201d In an X post, Dooley expressed confidence that he\u2019d still win. <\/p>\n<p>With Kemp as his top surrogate, Dooley argues that a first-time candidate has a better shot to defeat Ossoff, the only Democratic senator facing voters in a state Trump carried in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/14\/south-bay-to-see-less-air-pollution-sewage-from-tijuana-river-in-near-future-state-and-federal-officials-say\/\">South Bay to see less air pollution, sewage from Tijuana River in near future, state and federal officials say<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kemp was the top choice of Senate Republican leaders looking for an Ossoff challenger. Kemp recruited Dooley, a childhood friend, to run instead.<\/p>\n<p>Haddad said he voted for Kemp twice and appreciates the job he\u2019s done but did not consider the outgoing governor\u2019s opinion when deciding who to back for the Senate. <\/p>\n<p>Collins did not mention Kemp on Sunday, paid little attention to Dooley and spent more time criticizing Ossoff. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t reflect the state of Georgia,\u201d he told supporters from the bed of a pickup truck. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t represent our values \u2014 matter of fact, he shouldn\u2019t even be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Trump\u2019s uneasy relationship with Kemp<\/h4>\n<p>Trump\u2019s choice, and his insistence on bringing up the 2020 election again, puts the spotlight again on his uneasy relationship with Kemp. The governor resisted Trump\u2019s pressure not to certify Biden\u2019s presidential electors before the Electoral College convened in December of the election year.<\/p>\n<p>Trump criticized Kemp in the years after and backed a primary challenger, former Sen. David Perdue, against the governor in 2022. Kemp trounced Perdue and coasted in the general election. By 2024, he and Trump managed a detente as Trump worked to return Georgia to the GOP presidential column.<\/p>\n<p>But behind the scenes, it\u2019s been clear the alliance was fragile and circumstantial. Kemp\u2019s decision to recruit Dooley in the first place, with an emphasis on the need for a political outsider, has itself been a subtle rejection of Trump\u2019s domination of the party.<\/p>\n<p>In his many campaign stops alongside Dooley, Kemp has reminded voters that Republicans have not won a Senate election in Georgia since 2016 \u2014 when Trump was first elected. Each time, the GOP nominee has fully embraced Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The governor points to a trio of first-term Republican senators \u2014 Montana\u2019s Tim Sheehy, Pennsylvania\u2019s Dave McCormick and Ohio\u2019s Bernie Moreno \u2014 who defeated Democratic incumbents in 2024 running as outsiders who still aligned with the president. <\/p>\n<p>Collins pushed back at Kemp\u2019s framing, saying his record in Washington shows he can be staunchly conservative, align with Trump and still court moderates voters who may not like the president. <\/p>\n<p>The congressman sponsored the Laken Riley Act, a 2025 law that requires immigrants be detained when charged with certain crimes. Republicans believe the issue damages Ossoff because he initially voted against the measure before supporting it after Trump returned to the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Collins noted that dozens of Democrats supported the measure. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBipartisan is not a bad word,\u201d he said, arguing that metropolitan voters will reward him for results. <\/p>\n<p>And even Kemp deviated from his Senate argument Sunday by endorsing Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the GOP\u2019s primary runoff for government. That choice puts Kemp on the side as Trump \u2014 who endorsed Jones last year \u2014 and against billionaire businessman Rick Jackson, who\u2019s run as an outsider like Dooley. <\/p>\n<h4>Trump\u2019s primary track record<\/h4>\n<p>Dooley\u2019s and Kemp\u2019s argument is matched against Trump\u2019s winning streak inside the party. In a matter of weeks, Trump has celebrated victories over Republicans who did not pass his test of loyalty.<\/p>\n<p>Cornyn lost to Paxton, U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky lost to Ed Gallrein, U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana failed to make a runoff and several Indiana state senators were defeated by challengers. Dooley needs Georgia to look more like Iowa, where Trump was unable to lift U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra to victory in the state\u2019s gubernatorial primary. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/14\/santee-weighs-long-term-budget-concerns-advances-potential-1-cent-sales-tax-measure\/\">Santee weighs long-term budget concerns, advances potential 1-cent sales tax measure<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dooley has told voters he will \u201cwork with President Trump but fight for you.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He will campaign again Monday, and Kemp will be at his side. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican candidates are competing for the chance to take on Democratic Sen.
