Please see below for a statement from Democratic Party of Georgia Senior Communications Advisor Devon Cruz on the results of the GOP U.S. Senate primary:
“After months of an already long, messy GOP primary, extreme Trump loyalist Mike Collins and ‘I’m going to support every policy that President Trump and his administration ran on’ Derek Dooley are locked into what is sure to be an even more chaotic runoff election that will leave the eventual nominee terminally inseparable from the increasingly unpopular president heading into the General Election.
“Between now and June 16th, both candidates are going to continue to try their hardest to prove who will be the more obedient, loyal puppet for Donald Trump. Georgians deserve better than that and we’ll make sure to continue working towards resoundingly reelecting Senator Ossoff in November.”

- Collins said that Trump is doing a “fantastic job” on the war in Iran.
- Collins voted against extending critical Affordable Care Act tax credits.
