The Spin

Trump-endorsedThis Mike Collins winning the Georgia GOP Senate primary is a massive win for the state and the country. Ossoff has pushed open borders and higher taxes on hardworking Georgians, and voters are clearly fed up. Flipping this seat keeps the Senate firmly in Republican hands and sends a loud message that Georgia is done with left-wing politics.

Mike Collins is an election denier who literally shot a ballot drop box in a campaign video while spreading debunked voter fraud myths. He's defended Jan. 6 rioters as political prisoners and is currently under House Ethics Committee investigation. Putting someone with that record in the U.S. Senate would be a serious threat to democracy and Georgia deserves far better.
