华盛顿，6月16日（路透社）——佐治亚州共和党选民将于周二通过决选选出他们的联邦参议院候选人，最终人选将是被总统唐纳德·特朗普称为“MAGA迈克”的国会议员，或是获得州长布莱恩·坎普支持的政坛新人。
无论最终胜出者是众议员迈克·柯林斯还是前大学橄榄球教练德里克·杜利，他们都将对阵乔恩·奥索夫——这位2028年民主党总统候选人的潜在人选，也是特朗普2024年赢下的州内唯一一位寻求连任的现任民主党参议员。

柯林斯在5月19日的初选中以40%的得票率位居第一，比杜利领先10个百分点。特朗普上周末背书了柯林斯，称他是“斗士和赢家”，从“一开始就支持特朗普”。
共和党目前在参议院拥有53票对47票的多数席位，但赢得额外席位的机会有限。他们的首要目标是佐治亚州和密歇根州这两个特朗普以微弱优势获胜的州。但他们要击败奥索夫难度极大。
佐治亚大学政治学教授查尔斯·布洛克表示，尽管奥索夫比大多数佐治亚州选民更偏左翼，但他的办公室提供了强大的选民服务运作，且他在该州花费了大量时间。
“就连我交谈过的共和党竞选顾问、活动人士也几乎都愿意承认，是的，奥索夫能够保住这个席位，”他说道。
奥索夫的筹款实力
奥索夫已筹集6000万美元，并报告称5月初手头现金近3300万美元。根据政治预测机构的预测，他目前被看好赢得连任。他的两位共和党对手都未筹集到超过500万美元的资金，且截至5月27日，两人手头现金均不足200万美元。
民主党参议院多数党基金已预留2000万美元用于佐治亚州的电视广告宣传，而共和党参议院领袖基金已承诺投入4400万美元以拿下该席位。
民主党需要在11月的中期选举中净赚四个席位才能掌控参议院。负责选举预测的时事通讯《萨巴托水晶球》上周将三个州的选情向民主党方向调整，将北卡罗来纳州的开放席位定为“倾向民主党”，将共和党倾向的阿拉斯加和俄亥俄州列为“势均力敌”。
民主党在这些州都推出了强劲候选人：前北卡罗来纳州州长罗伊·库珀、阿拉斯加州前众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉以及俄亥俄州前参议员谢罗德·布朗。特朗普的低支持率以及由美以冲突与伊朗局势加剧的生活成本高企问题，为他们的参选提供了助力。
缅因州参议员苏珊·柯林斯是处境最脆弱的现任共和党议员，她所代表的州在2024年民主党总统候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯以近7个百分点的优势获胜。她将面临进步派牡蛎养殖户格雷厄姆·普拉特内尔的挑战，普拉特内尔克服了多起争议赢得了民主党提名。
民主党人士认为他们还将竞争版图扩大到了艾奥瓦州和德克萨斯州，两州的民主党选民分别提名了州众议员、残奥会选手乔希·图雷克，以及州众议员、长老会神学院学生詹姆斯·塔莱科。2024年，特朗普以13个百分点的优势赢得艾奥瓦州，以14个百分点的优势赢得德克萨斯州。

- Summary
- Collins led the May 19 primary with 40%, 10 points ahead of Dooley
- Ossoff raised $60 million and had nearly $33 million on hand entering May
- The Republican Senate Leadership Fund pledged $44 million to flip the seat
WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) – Republican voters in Georgia will choose their U.S. Senate nominee in a runoff election on Tuesday, tapping either a congressman dubbed “MAGA Mike” by President Donald Trump or a political outsider backed by Governor Brian Kemp.
The winner – Representative Mike Collins or former college football coach Derek Dooley – will face Jon Ossoff, a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2028 and the only incumbent Senate Democrat up for reelection in a state that Trump won in 2024.

Collins finished first in the May 19 primary with 40% of the vote, 10 percentage points ahead of Dooley. Trump endorsed Collins over the weekend, calling him a “WARRIOR and WINNER” who supported Trump “from the very beginning.”
Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate but have limited opportunities to win additional seats. Their top targets are Georgia and Michigan, two states the president narrowly won. But they have a tall task in unseating Ossoff.
Charles Bullock, a political science professor at the University of Georgia, said while Ossoff is more liberal than most Georgia voters, his office has a strong constituent services operation and he spends a lot of time in the state.
“Even Republican campaign consultants, activists like that, that I talk to are pretty much willing to concede that, yeah, Ossoff’s going to be able to hold this seat,” he said.
OSSOFF FUNDRAISING JUGGERNAUT
Ossoff has raised $60 million and reported entering May with nearly $33 million on hand. He is currently favored to win reelection, according to political prognosticators. Neither of his remaining challengers has raised more than $5 million, and both reported less than $2 million on hand as of May 27.
The Democratic Senate Majority PAC has reserved $20 million in TV advertising in Georgia, and the Republican Senate Leadership Fund has pledged to invest $44 million into flipping the seat.
Democrats would need to net four seats in November’s midterm elections to win control of the Senate. Sabato’s Crystal Ball, a newsletter that makes electoral projections, shifted three states toward Democrats last week, moving North Carolina’s open seat to lean Democratic and Republican-leaning Alaska and Ohio to toss-ups.
Democrats have strong candidates in each of those states: former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, former Representative Mary Peltola of Alaska and former Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio. Their candidacies are buoyed by Trump’s low approval rating and concerns over the high cost of living, heightened by the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.
Senator Susan Collins of Maine is the most vulnerable incumbent Republican, representing a state that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris won by nearly 7 percentage points in 2024. She will face progressive oysterman Graham Platner, who overcame several controversies to win the Democratic nomination.
Democrats believe they have also expanded the map of competitive states to include Iowa and Texas, where Democratic voters nominated state Representative Josh Turek, a paralympian, and state Representative James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian. In 2024, Trump won Iowa by 13 percentage points and Texas by 14 points.
