President Donald Trump has started to aggressively lobby Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp to appoint Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) as the interim U.S. senator for Georgia, according to a report released Tuesday.
Tea Party Patriots cofounder Jenny Beth Martin released a statement Monday, saying that Georgia conservatives “would far prefer” Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) to business executive Kelly Loeffler for the open U.S. Senate seat.
Georgia conservative activist Debbie Dooley told Breitbart News Sunday that Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) is “one of [President Donald] Trump’s strongest defenders,” saying he will represent Georgia well in the Senate.
Conservatives across the Georgia Republican base have sounded the alarm over Gov. Brian Kemp’s potential appointment of Kelly Loeffler as an interim Republican senator.
