华盛顿——
共和党人寄望佐治亚州拿下事关参议院控制权的关键胜利，而众议员迈克·柯林斯将在11月与民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫展开较量。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预计，柯林斯于周二晚间赢得佐治亚州共和党参议员初选决选，击败前大学橄榄球教练德里克·杜利。
由于上月初选中没有候选人获得50%以上的选票，且第三名候选人巴迪·卡特众议员被淘汰，本次选举进入决选。柯林斯是一家货运公司老板，自2023年起代表佐治亚州出任众议员，在本次决选中以近41%的得票率位居第一。杜利是一名律师，曾在田纳西大学执教橄榄球，也是传奇佐治亚大学橄榄球教练文斯·杜利之子，上月初选中获得约30%的选票。
上周日，特朗普总统介入本次竞选，背书这位连任两届的众议员，为柯林斯带来了最后时刻的助力。特朗普称柯林斯是“真正的朋友、斗士和战士，从一开始就与我们站在一起”。
特朗普的背书凸显了他与州长布莱恩·坎普之间的代理人之争，坎普此前背书了柯林斯的对手。特朗普与坎普的关系一直紧张，2020年时任州长拒绝特朗普干预佐治亚州总统选举结果的举动，更是加剧了双方的矛盾。
尽管柯林斯在初选期间将自己塑造成特朗普的坚定支持者，例如宣扬他牵头提出的以佐治亚州护理学生莱肯·赖利命名的移民法案——赖利于2024年被一名非法移民杀害，但杜利并未如此积极地支持特朗普。杜利将自己包装为政治圈外人，同时承诺将与特朗普合作为佐治亚州民众谋福祉。特朗普上周日背书后，杜利在X平台上表示“最重要的背书来自佐治亚州民众”，并辩称自己更有能力击败奥索夫。
在胜选演讲中，柯林斯表示他在选举夜与杜利和坎普通了电话，两人都“表示支持”。
“如今，我们团结一致，肩负一项使命，”柯林斯对支持者说，“那就是让共和党人占据这个席位，在11月赶走……乔恩·奥索夫。”
随着决选尘埃落定，共和党如今可以将注意力转向大选，数月来共和党人一直热切期待能与奥索夫对决。
作为特朗普2024年胜选州中唯一寻求连任的民主党参议员，奥索夫被认为是本届选举周期中处境最危险的本党议员。但旷日持久的初选削弱了共和党发动全面反对攻势的能力。与此同时，奥索夫凭借雄厚的筹款能力积累了大量竞选资金，以应对大选临近时势必到来的猛烈攻击。
现年39岁的奥索夫于2021年进入参议院。当时他与另一位候选人在佐治亚州拿下两场决选胜利，帮助民主党拿下参议院多数席位。该州在最近一次选举中转向右翼，但自2016年以来，佐治亚州尚未选出过共和党参议员。
本届选举周期中，该州的结果可能是决定参议院控制权的关键。当前共和党拥有53个参议院席位，民主党希望翻转四个席位，同时在包括佐治亚州在内的几场关键选举中捍卫现有席位。对于渴望保住参议院控制权的共和党人来说，奥索夫是他们的首要目标。
共和党将试图将奥索夫描绘成与全国民主党步调一致、背离佐治亚州民众价值观的人。但柯林斯的胜选可能对民主党来说是好消息：民主党人急于将他与特朗普绑定，攻击他在不受欢迎的白宫政策下与总统过从甚密，同时还会提及众议院道德委员会正在调查柯林斯滥用国会资金的指控。柯林斯已否认这些指控。
柯林斯在胜选演讲中预测，与奥索夫的竞争将“充满挑战”，并表示全国民主党人“将不遗余力地帮助他连任”。他将奥索夫斥为“脱离现实的极左翼自由派”。
而奥索夫则在周二晚间的一份声明中称柯林斯为“极端分子”，试图将这位共和党人与特朗普的贸易政策、伊朗问题以及去年的税改法案挂钩。

Trump-backed Rep. Mike Collins projected to win Georgia GOP Senate primary runoff, setting up race against Ossoff

Washington —
Rep. Mike Collins will face off against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November as Republicans look to Georgia to deliver a key GOP victory that could determine control of the Senate.
Collins won the Republican Senate runoff in Georgia on Tuesday night, CBS News projects, defeating Derek Dooley, a former college football coach.
The contest went to a runoff after no candidate secured 50% of the vote in last month’s primary, where a third candidate, Rep. Buddy Carter, was eliminated. Collins, the owner of a trucking business, has represented Georgia in the House since 2023 and finished first in the runoff with almost 41% of the vote. Dooley, an attorney who coached football at the University of Tennessee and is the son of legendary University of Georgia football coach Vince Dooley, won around 30% of the vote last month.
Collins secured a last-minute boost on Sunday when President Trump waded into the race, endorsing the two-term congressman over Dooley. The president called Collins a “true Friend, Fighter, and WARRIOR, who has been with us from the very beginning.”
Mr. Trump’s endorsement highlighted a proxy battle between the president and Gov. Brian Kemp, who endorsed Collins’ opponent. The president and Kemp have had a turbulent relationship, which was marked by the governor resisting Mr. Trump’s efforts to intervene in Georgia’s presidential election results in 2020.
While Collins pitched himself as a staunch supporter of the president during the primary, like by touting his sponsorship of an immigration bill named for Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was murdered by an undocumented immigrant in 2024, Dooley didn’t embrace Mr. Trump as readily. Dooley billed himself as a political outsider, while pledging to work with the president for Georgians. After the president’s endorsement on Sunday, Dooley said on X that “the most important endorsement is that of the Georgia people,” while arguing that he was better situated to beat Ossoff.
In a victory speech, Collins said he spoke with Dooley and Kemp on election night, and both are “on board.”
“Now, we stand united around one mission,” Collins told supporters. “It’s to put a Republican in that seat and get rid of … Jon Ossoff in November.”
With the runoff in the rearview, the GOP can now turn its attention to the general election, as Republicans for months have clamored over the chance to take on Ossoff.
As the sole Democrat seeking reelection in a state that Mr. Trump won in 2024, Ossoff is considered the most endangered member of his caucus this cycle. But the elongated primary has blunted Republican efforts to launch their full-fledged opposition. Meanwhile, Ossoff’s formidable fundraising efforts have amassed a significant war chest as he looks to fight back against the inevitable onslaught as the general election approaches.
Ossoff, 39, first came to the Senate in 2021. At the time, he delivered Democrats one of two runoff victories in Georgia, which secured the party’s majority in the upper chamber. The state shifted toward the right during the last election. But Georgians still haven’t elected a Republican to the Senate since 2016.
This cycle, the state could be key to determining control of the Senate. With 53 Republicans, Democrats are hoping to flip four seats while defending their own in a handful of key races — including Georgia. For Republicans eager to hold onto control of the chamber, Ossoff’s name is at the top of their list.
Republicans will work to portray Ossoff as aligned with national Democrats and out of step with Georgian values. But Collins’ victory may come as good news to Democrats, eager to run against his closeness with the president amid unpopular White House policies, along with highlighting allegations that Collins misused congressional funds, which is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. Collins has denied the allegations.
Collins predicted a “challenging” race against Ossoff in his victory speech, and said national Democrats are “going to be working overtime to get him reelected.” He cast Ossoff as an “out-of-touch far-left liberal.”
Ossoff, meanwhile, called Collins an “extremist” in a Tuesday evening statement that sought to tie the Republican to Mr. Trump’s trade policies, the Iran war and last year’s tax law.
