Collins, who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, voted to double health insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians, for the Iran War, and for the Trump tariffs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1613\">JD Vance Laughs at Vile Slur to Promote \u2018Faith\u2019 Book<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Collins has served in the House for less than two terms, having represented Georgia\u2019s 10th congressional district since 2023.

David Perdue. But the state flipped back to red in 2024 when it elected Trump for a second term over former Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Ossoff has made a name for himself with a series of viral clips on the campaign trail in recent months, taking direct aim at Trump, whose approval is deep underwater less than two years into his second term. The 39-year-old\u2019s fiery speeches have even sparked chatter about whether he could be a Democratic contender for president in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the Georgia Senate matchup is expected to be one of the most expensive of this cycle as both candidates fight to secure support before the November general election. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A series of recent polls of a hypothetical matchup between Ossoff and Collins and Ossoff and Dooley showed the Democratic senator leading, but the margins are likely to shrink now that the GOP nominee has been officially selected. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1611\">MAGA Senator Blames Biden for Alleged White House UFC Terror Plot<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats have crowed after Georgia Rep.
