Gov. Brian Kemp Endorses Collins in U.S. Senate Bid to Unseat Ossoff: "A Different Direction"
Kemp said Collins has delivered results as a businessman and Washington leader as polls show Ossoff ahead by 7.8 points, according to Real Clear Politics.
- On Monday, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp endorsed Republican Congressman Mike Collins for U.S. Senate, stating Collins "has delivered results as a businessman and commonsense leader in Washington."
- Kemp previously supported Derek Dooley in the primary, arguing the race needed an outsider to challenge Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, but Collins defeated Dooley 55% to 44% in the June runoff.
- With 50 days until the November 3 election, Ossoff leads the Real Clear Politics polling average by 7.8%, with support at 50.8% compared to 43% for Collins.
- Ossoff campaign spokesperson Valeria Rivadeneira-Crandell called the endorsement a "last-ditch effort" for a "collapsing campaign," characterizing Kemp's timing as politically desperate.
- Early voting begins across Georgia on Oct. 13, nearly one month after Kemp's endorsement, with the general election scheduled for Nov. 3.
