“I mean, just good, solid people and workers,” he continued. “But I also understand that sometimes you don’t do what you want to do, but what you need to do.”

Collins, a legislator with two mandates representing the 10th district of the Congress of Georgia, has still not said that he was jumping in the race and noted that he would first consult his family and President Donald Trump to determine “where we can be the best and most beneficial help in this mission to ensure that we obtain a republican in the United States of Georgia”.

The legislator became a must on the road during the Trump campaign last year, and his bill, the Laken Riley Act, was the first signed by the president during his second term.

Collins argued that ossoff “does not represent the values ​​of Georgia that I cherish so much”, and noted that the Republicans largely dominated the State in the last elections, including Trump’s victory in November.

However, Ossoff, which requires a re -election for a second term, was the first democrat to win a siege in the Senate in the Peach State in about two decades.

Devon Cruz, spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Georgia, said in a statement at Fox News Digital, “immediately after voting to tear health insurance from 750,000 Georgians, representative Mike Collins now wants the Georgians to promote him?”

Cruz continued: “Collins would join a crowded and disorderly primary that would leave the candidate of the badly murdered GOP, while Senator Jon Ossoff builds a massive momentum to take the loyalist of Donald Trump who is on the finish line.”

The Senate Republicans now consider the siege of Ossoff as one of the most viable flip opportunities during the next mid-term cycle of 2026, when the GOP hopes to keep and develop its thin majority in the upper room.

If Collins plunged throughout the race, he will face face to face against his republican compatriot of Georgia, Buddy Carter and the insurance commissioner of Georgia John King in the republican primary.

Carter was the first Republican to jump in the competition after the Republican Governor of Georgia. Brian KempWho was considered a big favorite to appear against Ossoff, chose to give up an offer from the Senate.
