Georgia Republicans are weighing in on President Donald Trump’s 11th-hour endorsement of U.S. Senate candidate, current U.S. Rep. Mike Collins.

Trump posted his endorsement on Truth Social at 1 a.m. on Sunday.

The runoff election pits Collins against Republican Derek Dooley, a former football coach at the University of Tennessee, who has the support of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.



The early voting period is over and just ahead of Tuesday’s Election Day, Republican political analyst Martha Zoller sat down with WABE’s “Morning Edition” to give her perspective.

Zoller is a former candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives and current host of “The Martha Zoller Show” podcast.
