In a recent runoff election, Republican voters in Georgia selected Mike Collins, a U.S. Representative, as their candidate to challenge Senator Jon Ossoff, a rising Democratic star, in the November midterm elections. Collins, who was backed by former President Trump, defeated Derek Dooley, a former college football coach. Additionally, Rick Jackson, a billionaire healthcare executive, was chosen as the Republican candidate for governor, although it was noted that Jackson was not backed by Trump. These primary runoff results set the stage for the general election in Georgia. According to The Guardian, Collins emerged victorious over Dooley.
