Factual Summary: Donald Trump announced via a social‑media post on July 13, 2026 that he endorses Rep. Mike Collins over Derek Dooley for the Georgia Senate runoff. Collins celebrated the endorsement, said he would welcome Trump’s daily visits to the state, and repeated claims that the 2020 election was rigged. Dooley, a political newcomer backed by Governor Brian Kemp, argues voters prefer an outsider and notes he voted for Trump in 2024 despite not voting in 2016 or 2020. The runoff will decide the Republican challenger to Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in the November 2026 Senate race.
