The Republican primaries for Senate in Georgia and Alabama are heading to runoffs next month after no candidate took a majority of the vote in Tuesday’s respective primaries.
In the Republican race in Georgia to take on Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, Rep. Mike Collins and former football coach Derek Dooley each secured spots on the June 16 ballot, according to The Associated Press. A little after 11:30 p.m. Eastern time, Collins was leading with 40.5 percent of the vote to 30 percent for Dooley, while Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter trailed in third place with about 25 percent.
