Derek Dooley advances to runoff for Republican Senate nomination in Georgia
Neither Republican won a majority, sending the Senate race to a June 16 runoff that will decide who challenges Sen. Jon Ossoff.
- On Tuesday, Derek Dooley and Rep. Mike Collins advanced to a June 16 Republican runoff for Georgia's U.S. Senate nomination after neither secured at least 50% of the vote in the primary.
- The winner will face Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November, making this race critical for U.S. Senate control in a state President Donald Trump won in 2024.
- Collins emphasized his sponsorship of the 2025 Lake Riley Act focusing on immigration enforcement, while Dooley, 57, is a lawyer and former football coach running for office for the first time.
- Trump's endorsement record in Georgia remains inconsistent, failing to unseat Gov. Brian Kemp in 2022 and backing Herschel Walker in that year's failed Senate campaign.
- Massive financial stakes define Georgia's statewide contests, with more than $125 million spent on advertising in the Republican gubernatorial primary alone, reflecting intense competition.
