Greg Bluestein examines the high-stakes Republican U.S. Senate runoff between Mike Collins and Derek Dooley, arguing that the race has become a broader test of the future direction of Georgia's GOP. He breaks down the competing visions driving the campaign, the key voter blocs that could decide the outcome, and what the runoff could reveal about the balance of power between Brian Kemp's coalition-building approach and Donald Trump's influence over Republican primary voters. Greg also looks at Democratic runoff battles, the emerging fight over Georgia's gas tax and rising fuel prices, and why Congressman Brian Jack is working to build the next generation of Georgia Republican leaders.
