GA-SEN: Kemp Pushes Derek Dooley for Senate in Georgia

“Gov. Brian Kemp is making a late push to help lay the groundwork for former football coach Derek Dooley’s U.S. Senate bid — directly telling Insurance Commissioner John King and U.S. Reps. Mike Collins and Buddy Carter he won’t support their campaigns,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

“The behind-the-scenes moves came Thursday as Dooley, a longtime Kemp ally, prepares to enter the Republican primary to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff.”

I'm sure Dooley is a typical Georgia conservative, but not sure he's a total trump kisser like Collins and Carter. Silent Type Jul 24 #2

He would have been tough to beat. Who else is running on the republican side? Who is the most difficult for Ossoff to beat?
