President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) on June 12, 2026, ahead of the GOP runoff election against former Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley. The endorsement comes as both candidates prepare to face incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in the upcoming midterm elections. Trump described Collins as a 'true FRIEND, FIGHTER, and WARRIOR' in a post on Truth Social, emphasizing his support from MAGA supporters and Republican lawmakers.
Collins, a former trucking company owner, positions himself as a Trump-aligned candidate. Trump did not endorse Dooley, citing his lack of residency in Georgia and previous comments about the 2020 election results. Trump criticized Ossoff's policies, claiming he is not respected in Washington. The runoff election follows a primary in late May, where Collins received approximately 10 percentage points more of the vote than Dooley. The runoff is scheduled for June 14, 2026.
