Trump instead endorsed Georgia Congressman Mike Collins, who won 56% of the vote in Georgia with 159 of 159 localities reporting results, compared to 44% for Dooley, according to unofficial state election results.
Collins now will face off against incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Osoff for a high-stakes U.S. Senate seat in the general election in November.
Dooley conceded the election to Collins Tuesday night.
“Like my old high school coach said, the clock just ran out on us,” Dooley told supporters in Georgia Tuesday night. “I wish we had a little more time.”
