Georgia Runoffs Shape GOP Future

Georgia Republicans face pivotal runoff elections today that could reshape the state’s political future. In the Senate race, MAGA-backed Congressman Mike Collins clashes with former coach Derek Dooley, who’s rallying around football metaphors and a decade-long Senate drought. Meanwhile, billionaire Rick Jackson, self-funding his campaign with $93 million, goes head-to-head with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones — Trump’s longtime ally — in the governor’s race. Jackson’s blitz of ads promises tax cuts and deportations, while Jones leans into his Trump loyalty and UGA roots. Trump’s social media presence looms large over both contests, testing the power of his endorsements. The Senate race is especially critical for Democrats’ hopes of holding the seat and controlling Capitol Hill. And looming behind these races? The open Secretary of State race, where candidates’ stances on the 2020 election will define the GOP’s future direction. Today’s results could ripple across Georgia politics for years to come.
