Overview

  • Collins has publicly teased a Senate campaign against Sen. Jon Ossoff but has not yet made a formal announcement.
  • He is consulting with his family, President Trump and party stakeholders before deciding whether to enter the race.
  • An April Trafalgar Group poll found Collins leading Rep. Buddy Carter by just over 23 points in a hypothetical GOP primary.
  • The same survey shows Collins trailing Ossoff by fewer than five points in a general election matchup.
  • A formal bid would pit Collins against fellow Republicans Buddy Carter and Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King.
