Georgia Republicans select candidate for Senate race against incumbent Democrat Jon Ossoff
Georgia Republicans are holding a primary election on Tuesday to choose a nominee to challenge Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff in November. Three candidates are competing: Rep. Mike Collins, Rep. Buddy Carter, and Derek Dooley, a lawyer and former football coach backed by Gov. Brian Kemp. Republicans express concern about their chances despite Ossoff being considered vulnerable, with a potential runoff likely if no candidate wins outright.
