Thune Says GOP Still Backs Spending to Support Collins Campaign
Collins raised $400,000 at the event, and the Senate Leadership Fund is adding $1.7 million as GOP leaders weigh whether Georgia remains worth the investment.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Gov. Brian Kemp rallied in Atlanta on Friday to support Republican Senate nominee Mike Collins against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff amid party debates over Georgia's priority.
- Party leaders recently debated whether Georgia remains a priority, prompting Thune-aligned groups to push $1.7 million in new ad spending into the state to support Collins' campaign.
- Financial reports show Ossoff entered the period with $42 million on hand compared to Collins' $2.2 million, while polling averages place Ossoff nearly eight points ahead at 51.1% to 43.3%.
- Thune dismissed Ossoff's attacks on Collins as a 'desperate attack' to distract from the senator's voting record, while Ossoff labeled Collins a 'puppet' of Donald Trump over policy and scandals.
- Georgia Republican Party Chairman Josh McKoon aims to secure a win by mobilizing the coalition that helped Trump carry the state in 2024, despite the former president not appearing on this year's ballot.
