Trump-backed candidate survives grueling runoff, advances to high-stakes Senate race

Republican Rep. Mike Collins, backed by former President Donald Trump, emerged victorious in a contentious runoff election, securing the Republican Senate nomination and advancing to a high-stakes general election race. Collins, a self-described 'MAGA champion,' will face off against Democratic candidate and former Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux in November's election. The outcome marks a significant victory for Trump-backed candidates in the state. Collins' win sets the stage for a closely watched Senate showdown in Georgia.
