美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周日介入佐治亚州联邦参议员共和党初选,在众议员迈克·柯林斯与德里克·杜利面临 runoff 选举的数日前为其背书。
“迈克·柯林斯是一位真正的朋友、斗士和勇士,从一开始就与我们站在一起,我完全且彻底背书他成为你们的下一任联邦参议员,”特朗普在Truth Social的帖子中写道。
曾担任田纳西大学橄榄球教练的杜利,获得了佐治亚州州长布莱恩·坎普的支持,两人多年来关系复杂。
在上个月的初选中,柯林斯以超过10个百分点的优势领先杜利——这位同样来自田纳西大学的前橄榄球教练,这场初选的胜者将在11月对阵民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫。佐治亚州的这个参议院席位,可能是决定特朗普第二任期剩余时间内参议院权力平衡的关键。

两人数月来一直在争夺特朗普的背书,柯林斯尤其积极靠拢总统的核心圈子,并随他们一同在竞选活动中露面。过去一年里,柯林斯曾与副总统JD·万斯等政府官员一同出现在佐治亚州的活动中。
然而尽管杜利做出了努力,他似乎并未在周二的runoff选举前获得总统的支持。
特朗普 overnight 批评了杜利长期不参加总统选举投票的历史,并似乎提及了《华盛顿考察家报》的一篇报道,该报道称杜利私下承认特朗普在2020年大选中失利。
“我不认识德里克·杜利,其他人也不认识,但他看起来是个好人,”特朗普在Truth Social上说道。“不幸的是,他人生大部分时间都住在佐治亚州之外,没有在2020年和2016年投票,还说我在2020年佐治亚州的选举中失利,但事实上,现在的事实已经证明,我以极大优势获胜!”

总统的背书可能为柯林斯的竞选带来助力,其团队近期遭遇了一些争议:一名高级顾问因在竞选账号上发布针对支持杜利的政治行动委员会顾问配偶的贬损推文而被解雇。
柯林斯于周日上午感谢了特朗普的背书,并展望了11月的大选。
“佐治亚州人民值得一位每天为他们奋斗、带来切实成果的联邦参议员,这正是我要做的事。第一步就是在11月击败乔恩·奥索夫,”柯林斯在X平台上写道。
在竞争对手获得背书后,杜利表示他“非常尊重”总统,并期待能在参议院与特朗普合作。
但他在X平台上的一篇突出展示坎普支持的帖子中辩称:“佐治亚州人民需要一位真正能击败乔恩·奥索夫的政治 outsiders,一位致力于终结像迈克·柯林斯这样典型华盛顿政客的职业主义、腐败和不作为的人。”

AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
President Donald Trump on Sunday waded into the Georgia Republican primary for Senate, endorsing Rep. Mike Collins just days before the congressman faces off against Derek Dooley in a runoff election.
“Mike Collins is a true Friend, Fighter, and WARRIOR, who has been with us from the very beginning, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be your next United States Senator,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Dooley, a former football coach at the University of Tennessee, has the support of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who has had a complicated relationship with Trump over the years.
Collins led Dooley, a former football coach at the University of Tennessee, by more than 10 points in last month’s primary election in the fight to face Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November. The Georgia seat could be key in determining the balance of power in the Senate for the remainder of Trump’s second term.

The men have been vying for Trump’s endorsement for months, with Collins in particular embracing the president’s inner circle and joining them on the campaign trail. Collins has appeared alongside administration officials, like Vice President JD Vance, at events in Georgia over the past year.
Despite Dooley’s efforts, however, he appeared not to have made inroads in his bid for the president’s support ahead of Tuesday’s runoff.
Trump overnight criticized his long history of not voting in presidential elections and appeared to reference a Washington Examiner report that Dooley privately acknowledged that Trump had lost the 2020 election.
“I don’t know Derek Dooley, and neither does anyone else, but he seems like a nice person,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Unfortunately, he has lived outside of Georgia for most of his life, didn’t vote in 2020 or 2016, and said that I lost Georgia in 2020 when, in actuality, the facts have now proven that I won by a lot!”

The president’s endorsement could be a boon for Collins’ campaign, which has seen some controversy in recent weeks, including firing a top adviser who posted a disparaging tweet on the campaign account about the spouse of an adviser to a pro-Dooley PAC.
Collins thanked Trump for the endorsement on Sunday morning and looked ahead to the general election.
“Georgians deserve a U.S. Senator who will fight for them every day to deliver real results, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. It starts with firing Jon Ossoff in November,” Collins wrote on X.
Following the endorsement of his rival, Dooley said that he has “great respect” for the president and looked forward to working with Trump in the Senate.
But, he argued in a post on X where he highlighted Kemp’s support, “Georgians want a political outsider who can actually beat Jon Ossoff, and someone who is committed to ending the careerism, corruption, and inaction from typical D.C. politicians like Mike Collins.”
