佐治亚州参众两院初选面临高风险
福克斯新闻记者麦迪逊·斯卡皮诺在《特别报道》中报道了佐治亚州至关重要的初选。
击败佐治亚州民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫的角逐尚未结束，一名政坛局外人和一名经验丰富的议员将在下月展开决选。
佐治亚州共和党众议员迈克·柯林斯和前大学橄榄球教练德里克·杜利将在6月16日进行决选选举，对于任何希望保住或拿下参议院席位的政党而言，该州都具有特殊的政治意义。
此次初选此前在柯林斯、杜利和佐治亚州共和党众议员巴迪·卡特之间展开激烈角逐，而这场竞选目前尚未得到唐纳德·特朗普总统的背书。
关键参议院席位之争中，共和党内部围绕停摆政治爆发内讧：“这不是获胜之道”
与其他选区一样，特朗普的背书将决定柯林斯或杜利未来竞选的成败。
杜利欣然接受“局外人”的称号，辩称他会以符合佐治亚州利益的方式支持特朗普。
“作为你们的参议员，我永远不会忘记你们才是老板，华盛顿的政客需要问责，”杜利在X平台上写道。“限制任期。禁止内幕交易。终结政府停摆。我将致力于结束华盛顿的常态政治。”
柯林斯则大力宣扬自己的“让美国再次伟大”立场，争取总统在本次竞选中支持自己。

“佐治亚州需要合适的共和党人来对抗乔恩·奥索夫，”柯林斯在X平台上表示。“这个人要有实绩，有保守主义记录为证，并且在关键时刻曾支持特朗普总统。”
但对于奥索夫的竞选团队而言，11月的对手是谁并不重要。
“无论哪个特朗普傀儡从这场混乱又残酷的共和党初选中胜出，他们都会伤痕累累，且与这位有毒的总统牢牢绑定，”奥索夫竞选团队发言人埃莉·多尔蒂在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“与此同时，势头强劲的奥索夫竞选团队将继续积聚不可阻挡的动力，在11月以决定性优势获胜。”
尽管特朗普尚未介入此次竞选，但曾被共和党大力游说参选参议员、最终决定不参选的佐治亚州州长布莱恩·坎普已经表态。
坎普支持杜利，称其为家族好友，并认为杜利缺乏政治经验，能够打破共和党建制派的格局。

“我想要夺回我们的参议院席位，”坎普在选举日前表示。“过去几个选举周期，我们在佐治亚州的联邦参议院选举中表现不佳，我们还有最后一次机会夺回其中一个参议院席位。我们必须选出合适的人选。”
此次决选可能演变为坎普与特朗普之间的又一场政治较量，两人自2020年大选以来就一直争执不下。如果特朗普决定介入，杜利和柯林斯将成为双方交锋的代言人。

与此同时，民主党人信心满满，认为尽管奥索夫是2024年特朗普获胜州中唯一寻求连任的参议院民主党现任议员，他们仍能保住奥索夫的席位。但共和党内部的内讧以及奥索夫久经考验的竞选记录，让民主党人相信他们可以在11月获胜。
与奥索夫一样击败在任议员并在2023年再次击败特朗普背书对手的佐治亚州民主党参议员拉斐尔·沃诺克在投票站关闭数小时前，向共和党人提出了建议。
“我想送上一句鼓励的话，”沃诺克在谈到共和党内讧时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“他们应该继续这样内讧下去。”

Georgia GOP Senate primary heads to runoff as Republicans battle to unseat Ossoff

Rep Buddy Carter was eliminated in the primary as both remaining candidates vie for Trump’s endorsement

High stakes in Georgia primaries for Senate and governor
Fox News correspondent Madison Scarpino reports on Georgia’s crucial primaries on ‘Special Report.’
The quest to find the one candidate that can beat Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., isn’t quite over yet, with a runoff between a political outsider and an experienced lawmaker teed up for next month.
Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., and former college football coach Derek Dooley are headed to a runoff election on June 16 in a state of particular political consequence for either party hoping to keep or gain power in the Senate.
The contest comes after a bruising primary between Collins, Dooley, and Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., and a battle that President Donald Trump has so far avoided.
GOP CIVIL WAR ERUPTS OVER SHUTDOWN POLITICS IN CRITICAL SENATE RACE: ‘NOT A WINNING FORMULA’

His endorsement, as in other races, could make or break either Collins’ or Dooley’s chances moving forward.
Dooley has embraced the outsider moniker, arguing that he would side with Trump in ways that benefit Georgians.
“As your Senator, I’ll never forget that you’re the boss and D.C. politicians need accountability,” Dooley said on X. “Term limits. Ban insider trading. End government shutdowns. I’ll fight to end politics as usual in Washington.”
Collins has heavily leaned into his MAGA bonafides in trying to court the president to back him in the race.

“Georgia needs the right Republican to take on Jon Ossoff,” Collins said on X. “Someone who’s delivered, has the conservative record to prove it, and had President Trump’s back when it mattered most.”
But for Ossoff’s campaign, it doesn’t matter which opponent they face in November.
“Regardless of which Trump puppet makes it out of this messy and brutal GOP primary, they will be bruised and terminally inseparable from the toxic president,” Ossoff campaign spokesperson Ellie Doughtery told Fox News Digital in a statement. “Meanwhile, the juggernaut Ossoff campaign will continue building insurmountable momentum to win decisively in November.”
While Trump has stayed out of the race, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who Republicans heavily lobbied to run for the Senate until he ultimately declined, has weighed in.
Kemp threw his support behind Dooley, a family friend that he believes can bring a shake-up to the GOP establishment, given his lack of political experience.

“I want to win our Senate seat back,” Kemp said before Election Day. “We haven’t done so well in U.S. Senate races here in the state of Georgia in the last several cycles, and we have one more opportunity to try to get one of our Senate seats back. And we got to have the right person to do that.”
The runoff could turn into another political battle between Kemp and Trump, who have sparred since the 2020 election. And Dooley and Collins would act as surrogates in the back and forth should the president decide to get involved.

Meanwhile, Democrats are confident that Ossoff will hold on to his seat despite being the only Senate Democratic incumbent running for re-election in a state Trump won in 2024. But the infighting among Republicans and Ossoff’s battle-tested track record have encouraged Democrats that they can win in November.
Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., who, like Ossoff, beat an incumbent and again won against a Trump-backed opponent in 2023, had some advice for Republicans hours before polls closed.
“I want to offer a word of encouragement,” Warnock told Fox News Digital of the GOP’s infighting. “They should keep that up.”
