Shock Upset: How Trump’s Endorsement Toppled Ex-Tennessee Coach Derek Dooley’s Senate Dreams
Advertisement
By contrast, Collins is a sitting Congressman who has made the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
Dooley did have the support of the Georgia governor
Collins previously won the right to advance to the June 16 runoff with 41% of the vote in a five-way Republican race in May, when Dooley finished second at 30%.
Dooley previously had won the endorsement of Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who also had pushed back on Trump’s false claims of a stolen election. Kemp and his wife “stuck their neck out for a guy who’s never been in politics back in August,” Dooley said
Dooley congratulated Collins.
“He got out early, and we just never could catch him,” Dooley said.
