Georgia’s Republican primary runoff voters chose US representative Mike Collins over former college football coach Derek Dooley to lead the party’s bid to challenge the US senator and rising Democratic star Jon Ossoff in November’s midterm elections.
They also selected the billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson over the Trump-backed lieutenant governor, Burt Jones, to face the Democratic gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms in November, after a bruising election campaign that led to libel litigation and federal challenges to Georgia election law.
