President Donald Trump and Governor Brian Kemp recently made endorsements in Georgia’s Republican primaries. Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins in the U.S. Senate race, while Kemp endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the governor’s race.

Endorsements and Their Impact

The endorsements came late in the process, with many voters already having cast their ballots. An InsiderAdvantage poll showed Jones trailing newcomer Rick Jackson by three percentage points, despite having the support of both Trump and Kemp. Collins led his opponent, Derek Dooley, by only two points.

Jackson, who has mounted a remarkable campaign, coming from relative obscurity to become a frontrunner, has been endorsed by Donald Trump Jr. Jackson’s campaign has been notable for its significant spending, with $108 million invested in a matter of months.
