Collins was Trump's preferred choice for the seat but Kemp appointed Loeffler. So does Trump endorse Collins over the sitting senator in the primary?

I'm not sure if a bitter primary would put the seat in play like the article suggests but it isn't going to help.

Trump needs to back Collins.

I’d say Collins need to stay out of a race where the HuffPo is pimping a primary battle.

Nah, leave her alone. She's a Republican. Plus, we need someone in the "World's Greatest Deliberative Body" that we can look at without gagging.

If Loeffler wants to stay in office she can always go for Collins office. If she wants it bad enough let her earn it.

It’s Huff Po.

With the popularity of Stacy Abrams and the treachery of Brian Kemp on the Senate appointment, GA will be very tough to win.

Much as I like Collins, I think someone with his personality is far better suited for the House or a governor’s office than for a body of feckless fools like the U.S. Senate.

She will now have to vote to acquit The President. If she doesn’t she will likely be primaried out.

I don’t agree with Collins challenging the fellow republican and probably won’t vote for him in the primary because of it. Otherwise I am fine with Collins, but this will not be good for the Election period. If enough like me vote for Loeffler in the primary maybe we can shut this down before too much harm is done.

Good move for Collins. He barely got re-elected in 2018 in a district that is changing demographically.

Doug Collins’ seat in NE Georgia is absolutely Republican safe. He or another decent conservative simply could not lose here. (Collins is my rep).

Not sure a firebrand like Mr. Collins could win statewide.

Loeffler ain’t my fave but she can carry enough soccer moms in blue areas to win the state overall.

Abrams is not a likeable person but Kemp ran some really awkward and poorly produced ads during the campaign that turned people off. Abrams is not as much of a Senate threat in a Presidential election year with millions of fired up Trump voters in Ga.

The decision by the four-term lawmaker could complicate the GOP’s chances of holding onto the seat as Republicans battle to retain their Senate majority in this November’s elections.

Why does this complicate anything?

Whoever gets the nomination, we don’t need another circular firing squad.
