Georgia Republicans are holding runoff elections Tuesday to decide their nominees for the U.S. Senate and governor, with President Donald Trump at the center of each contest. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
In the Senate race, Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins, a second-term congressman who calls himself a "MAGA warrior," over Derek Dooley, a first-time candidate and former football coach backed by outgoing Gov. Brian Kemp. Trump's endorsement could give Collins an edge in the runoff.
In the governor's race, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, backed by Trump, faces former state Sen. Rick Jackson, who has Kemp's support. The results will shape the party's direction ahead of the general election against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Voting results are expected later Tuesday.
