State of the Union: The Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones lost the governor’s primary race. The post Mike Collins Wins GOP Primary in George, Will Face Ossoff appeared first on The American Conservative .
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) secured the Republican Senate nomination in a Georgia runoff Tuesday, defeating former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley after a last-minute endorsement from President Donald Trump. Collins will face Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in November. The race split the state’s GOP establishment. Gov. Brian Kemp, who remains popular among state Republicans despite past clashes with Trump, backed Dooley, while Trump on Sunday dismissed Dooley as someone who has “lived outside of Georgia for most of his life, didn’t vote in 2020 or 2016, and said that I lost Georgia in 2020.” Trump added “I don’t know Derek Dooley, and neither does anyone else, but he seems like a nice person.” In the governor’s…Open

Campaign ads featuring AI-generated clips and images once sounded like a laughable concept. Now they're everywhere, with attack ads that place candidates in a wide variety of compromising — and fictitious — situations. Why it matters: This largely unregulated practice is warping the unspoken norms of political campaigns and blurring the line between truth and fiction. - Some campaigns voluntarily disclose this AI use, but it's not required. - Democrats want to change that if they retake control of Congress in November. Driving the news: The latest spot to push the envelope is an attack ad against Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico from a President Trump-aligned group called Citizens for Sanity. - The ad depicts…

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is staking out his independence from President Trump ahead of a possible 2028 run for the White House, backing rivals to Trump-endorsed candidates in two high-profile Republican primaries. Why it matters: Cruz is testing whether there's room in the Republican Party for a 2028 contender willing to break with a president who's maintained an iron grip on the party for the last decade. State of play: Cruz this week announced he was backing Rick Jackson for Georgia governor and Alan Wilson in South Carolina's race for governor. - Jackson, a wealthy health care executive, faces Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in Georgia's June 16 runoff. - Wilson, South Carolina's attorney general, is up against running Trump-endorsed…
