Will Trump's endorsement of Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate runoff mean victory on Tues for him?
70% of users predicted YES — the community got this one right. 33 predictions cast.
Republican Rep. Mike Collins won the Georgia GOP Senate primary runoff on June 17, 2026, defeating former University of Georgia football coach Derek Dooley. Collins will face Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff in the November general election in what is expected to be one of the most competitive Senate races of the 2026 midterms.
President Trump endorsed Collins late in the race, giving him a significant boost as Dooley had held the backing of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp throughout the campaign. Trump’s intervention helped Collins consolidate Republican base support in the final stretch.
The Georgia Senate seat is widely viewed as a key battleground for control of the upper chamber heading into 2026. Ossoff, first elected in a January 2021 runoff, is among Democrats’ most prominent targets for Republican pickup, and Collins now becomes the GOP standard-bearer in what is likely to be a nationally watched and heavily funded fall race. The 70 percent of Predict Six participants who forecast a Collins victory proved correct.
