Republican Groups Raise $1 Million for Georgia Senate Race as Ossoff Fight Draws $44 Million

Summary
$1 million has already been raised by two top Republican groups in a joint operation for Georgia's Senate nominee, reflecting party anxiety about unseating Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.
That new money comes on top of $44 million the Senate Leadership Fund has already committed to the race, with GOP gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson also signaling heavy statewide spending after Tuesday's primary.
Collins emerged from the primary with Trump's late endorsement and strong rural support, but Republicans say his general-election launch will be closely watched as he tries to broaden beyond the MAGA base.
Georgia operatives describe the race as an uphill battle against Ossoff, making early resource deployment and party unity critical as the campaign shifts immediately into the general election.
