美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周六在关键的摇摆州佐治亚州参议院竞选的最后时刻做出背书，该州是为数不多的几个将决定共和党能否在11月中期选举中维持参议院微弱多数席位的州之一。
特朗普背书共和党众议员迈克·柯林斯，这位MAGA支持者、总统的坚定盟友，将在周二的决选中迎战前大学橄榄球教练德里克·杜利。杜利得到了颇受欢迎的保守派佐治亚州州长布莱恩·坎普的支持。
获得共和党参议院提名的候选人将在中期选举中对阵民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫。共和党人将奥索夫视为寻求连任的民主党参议员中最脆弱的一位，并正全力瞄准这位首届任期参议员。
代表佐治亚州第10国会选区的柯林斯，该选区位于亚特兰大和奥古斯塔之间，是已故众议员麦克·柯林斯的儿子，同时与妻子共同创立并拥有一家货运公司。

作为一名律师，杜利曾担任田纳西大学橄榄球教练，也是传奇佐治亚大学主教练文斯·杜利之子。他与柯林斯在包含众议员巴迪·卡特在内的多名候选人组成的激烈选战中拿下前两名。由于上月的初选中无人得票超过50%，柯林斯和杜利晋级周二的决选。
尽管柯林斯长期以来一直展示自己的MAGA资质和对总统的支持，但特朗普在佐治亚州的初选和决选之前一直保持中立。
与此同时，即将卸任的坎普坚定支持杜利，二人是毕生好友。坎普及其妻子、佐治亚州第一夫人马蒂·坎普经常与杜利一同出现在竞选活动中，州长的首席政治顾问也是杜利参议院竞选团队的高级顾问。

杜利强调自己的“局外人”形象，并指责柯林斯是政治圈内人；而柯林斯则批评杜利缺乏政治经验，且成年时期大部分时间都居住在佐治亚州之外。
两位候选人都存在政治污点。
众议院道德委员会正在调查柯林斯，原因是其被指曾付给一位在选区办公室工作的实习生薪酬，该实习生与柯林斯的国会办公厅主任存在恋爱关系，但实际上并未实际履职。柯林斯否认存在任何不当行为，并将该员工留用在自己的参议院竞选团队中。
但这名员工后来被柯林斯解雇，此前她在社交媒体上代表竞选团队嘲讽了一名杜利竞选顾问的妻子，该女士曾因指控马特·劳厄尔强奸而自杀。该社交媒体帖子已被删除，柯林斯就此道歉，称这条推文“令人不齿，且未经授权”。
据报道，杜利在过去一周被指控卷入涉及弟弟丹尼尔·杜利与州长的“权钱交易”丑闻。杜利和坎普均否认存在不当行为，但州议会中的民主党人已要求开展独立调查。

尽管共和党人过去一年一直在争夺本党提名，但奥索夫已筹集到雄厚的竞选资金，将在大选拉开帷幕时拥有显著的筹款优势。
虽然特朗普本人不会出现在本次选票上，但他在共和党内部的巨大影响力也将在佐治亚州的另一场决选中接受关键考验：特朗普背书的副州长伯特·琼斯正与亿万富翁商人里克·杰克逊竞争共和党州长提名，以接替即将卸任的坎普。
过去一个月，特朗普背书的强大威力在共和党初选中尽显无疑，他支持的候选人在印第安纳州、路易斯安那州、肯塔基州和德克萨斯州的对决中击败了他所针对的现任议员，引发了全国广泛关注。
但两周前，特朗普在全州和国会共和党初选中的背书连胜被打破：他在爱荷华州的最后时刻背书支持共和党众议员兰迪·芬斯特拉，以接替即将退休的共和党州长金·雷诺兹，但这一背书未能帮助这位任职三届的众议员赢得选举。
芬斯特拉以微弱劣势输给了扎克·拉恩，后者是一位商人、农场主兼前政治策略师，得到了与特朗普政府卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪结盟的“让美国再次健康”运动（MAHA）政治分支，以及由已故查理·柯克联合创立的强大保守派组织“转折点美国”的支持。

上周特朗普迎来反弹：他在南卡罗来纳州共和党州长初选中背书的候选人、副州长帕梅拉·埃维特在激烈选战中拿下第一名，锁定了该党提名竞选的两张候选门票之一。

与此同时，特朗普的长期盟友林赛·格雷厄姆参议员在共和党参议院初选中赢得多数选票，无需进行决选。
获得特朗普背书的格雷厄姆面临包括保守派商人马克·林奇在内的五名候选人的挑战，林奇就格雷厄姆对伊朗战争的支持对其发起攻击。林奇得到了一些一直批评总统的MAGA领导人的支持。

Trump backs MAGA champion Mike Collins in Georgia’s Republican Senate runoff
June 14, 2026 1:27am EDT / Fox News
Collins faces Derek Dooley, a former college football coach backed by Gov. Brian Kemp, in Tuesday’s vote
By Paul Steinhauser Fox News
Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff argued that President Donald Trump is a “symptom of a deeper disease” in the U.S. and said the system was rigged during an interview with Stephen Colbert.

President Donald Trump on Saturday made an 11th-hour endorsement in a crucial Senate race in battleground Georgia, which is among a handful that will likely decide if the GOP holds its slim majority in the chamber in November’s midterm elections.
Trump endorsed Republican Rep. Mike Collins, a MAGA champion and strong supporter of the president, who is facing off in Tuesday’s runoff election against former college football coach Derek Dooley, who has the support of popular conservative Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
The winner of the GOP Senate nomination will face off in the midterms against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff. Republicans view Ossoff as the most vulnerable Senate Democrat seeking re-election and are heavily targeting the first-term senator.
Collins, who represents Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, which is located between Atlanta and Augusta, is the son of the late Rep. Mac Collins, and is the founder and co-owner, along with his wife, of a trucking company.

He and Dooley, a lawyer, a former University of Tennessee football coach and the son of legendary University of Georgia head football coach Vince Dooley, were the top two finishers in a crowded field of candidates that also included Rep. Buddy Carter. Since no one topped 50% in last month’s primary, Collins and Dooley advanced to Tuesday’s runoff election.
While Collins has long showcased his MAGA credentials and support for the president, Trump remained neutral in the Georgia primary and runoff election until now.
Meanwhile, Dooley is strongly backed by the term-limited Kemp, who is a lifelong friend. Kemp and his wife, Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp, have regularly appeared with Dooley on the campaign trail, and the governor’s top political advisor is a senior consultant for Dooley’s Senate bid.

While Dooley has emphasized his outsider image and targeted Collins as a political insider, Collins has criticized him for a lack of political experience and for living outside of Georgia for much of his adult life.
Both candidates have some political baggage.
The House Ethics Committee has been investigating Collins over allegations he paid an intern in a district office who had a romantic relationship with his congressional chief of staff but who did not actually perform any work. Collins denied any wrongdoing and kept the staffer on his Senate campaign.
But the staffer was later fired by Collins after taking to social media on behalf of the campaign to mock the wife of a Dooley campaign advisor who attempted suicide after accusing Matt Lauer of rape. The social media post was deleted and Collins apologized, calling the tweet “despicable and unauthorized.”
Dooley, over the past week, was reportedly accused of being part of a “pay to play” scandal involving brother Daniel Dooley, and the governor. Dooley and Kemp have denied any wrongdoing, but Democrats in the legislature requested an independent investigation.

While the Republicans have been battling for their party’s nomination over the past year, Ossoff has built a powerful war chest that will give him a major fundraising advantage as the general election gets underway.
While he isn’t on the ballot, the president’s immense clout over the GOP is also facing another key test in Georgia’s other runoff, where Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is battling billionaire businessman Rick Jackson for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, in the race to succeed Kemp.
The brute force of the president’s endorsement power has been on display in GOP primaries over the past month, with his candidates ousting incumbents he targeted in showdowns in Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky and Texas that grabbed plenty of national attention.
But Trump’s endorsement streak in statewide and congressional Republican primaries was snapped two weeks ago when his 11th-hour endorsement of Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra of Iowa in the race to succeed retiring GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds wasn’t enough to propel the three-term congressman to victory.
Feenstra was narrowly edged by Zach Lahn, a businessman, farmer and former political strategist who was backed by the political wings of MAHA — the acronym for the Make America Healthy Again movement aligned with Trump Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and Turning Point USA, the powerful conservative organization co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk.

Trump rebounded last week, as the candidate he endorsed in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, finished first in a crowded field and clinched one of the two tickets in the race for the nomination.

Meanwhile, longtime Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham did win a majority of the vote in the Republican Senate primary, and avoided a runoff.
Graham, who was endorsed by Trump, was facing primary challenges from five candidates, including conservative businessman Mark Lynch, who took aim at the senator over his support for the war in Iran. Lynch was backed by some MAGA leaders who have been critical of the president.
