Overview
- Ossoff holds consistent leads in recent surveys and reported roughly $42 million in cash-on-hand after a $20 million second quarter haul while Collins has about $2 million available.
- Collins has sought to blunt that edge by accusing Ossoff of relying on out-of-state donors even as Ossoff's campaign points to donations from nearly all 159 Georgia counties.
- The Collins campaign is contending with fresh controversies, including reports about a son-in-law's social posts tied to the white nationalist group Patriot Front and past staff ethics probes.
- Collins remained in Washington for House votes instead of attending President Trump's Georgia rally, a decision his campaign said was to advance legislative priorities.
- Pollsters warn voters aged 50 and over will be decisive in November and note broad concern about AI and data-center growth raising utility costs, an issue that could shift turnout and margins across the state.
