President Trump early on Sunday endorsed Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) over former college football coach Derek Dooley in Tuesday’s Georgia GOP Senate runoff.

“Mike is strongly supported by the most Highly Respected MAGA Patriots in Georgia and beyond, and many Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate — He is a WARRIOR and WINNER!” Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social, earlier referring to Collins as “‘MAGA’ Mike Collins.”

Two strikes against Dooley. Kemp endorsed him, Kemp’s only endorsement this election. Second, the last primary football guy (Walker) didn’t do so good.

Thought that was Susan Collins for a moment and wondered why he’d endorse an Assistant Democrat.

Whew!

I had the identical first impression.

Tennessee was very unhappy with his performance. Zero stars. Would not recommend.

Dooley’s performance as Head Coach at Tennessee was a huge disappointment.

Trump endorsed her months ago. I know you like Platner, but hopefully you lose that one.

I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. Please show me where I expressed any support of that oaf.

“Two strikes against Dooley. Kemp endorsed him, Kemp’s only endorsement this election.”

Kemp also endorsed Burt Jones in the Republican gubernatorial primary runoff contest.
