特朗普支持的迈克·柯林斯赢得佐治亚州共和党参议院初选决选Trump-Backed Mike Collins Wins Georgia GOP Senate Primary Runoff

在2026年6月16日举行的佐治亚州共和党参议院初选决选中，联邦众议员迈克·柯林斯成功击败了前大学橄榄球教练德里克·杜利，赢得了共和党提名。这场决选之所以被触发，是因为在5月19日举行的第一轮初选中，没有任何一位候选人能够获得超过50%的过半数选票。柯林斯作为两届联邦众议员，代表着介于亚特兰大和奥古斯塔之间的佐治亚州第10国会选区，他也是已故联邦众议员麦克·柯林斯的儿子，并与妻子共同创立并经营着一家卡车运输公司。

In the Georgia Republican Senate primary runoff held on June 16, 2026, Representative Mike Collins defeated former college football coach Derek Dooley to secure the GOP nomination. The runoff election was triggered after no candidate managed to win a majority of the vote in the initial primary held on May 19. Collins, a two-term federal lawmaker representing Georgia's 10th Congressional District located between Atlanta and Augusta, is the son of the late Representative Mac Collins and the founder and co-owner of a trucking company.

在赢得这场竞争激烈且火药味十足的“加时赛”后，柯林斯在胜选演讲中呼吁共和党人立即行动起来，击败民主党现任参议员乔恩·奥索夫，为该州人民夺回这一参议院席位。随着决选尘埃落定，柯林斯将正式代表共和党在11月的中期选举中对决奥索夫，这场对决也被外界普遍视为决定共和党能否在今年秋季维持或夺取参议院控制权的关键战役之一。

Following his victory in the highly competitive and combustible overtime contest, Collins declared in his victory speech that it was time to get to work, defeat incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, and take the seat back for the people of Georgia. With the primary runoff resolved, Collins officially advances to face Ossoff in the November midterm election, a high-stakes matchup that is widely expected to help determine which party controls the Senate this autumn.

此次决选被广泛视为前总统唐纳德·特朗普与佐治亚州州长布莱恩·肯普之间的一场代理人战争。特朗普在决选投票前几天对迈克·柯林斯进行了关键的后期背书，而肯普则大力支持德里克·杜利，并亲自为其站台拉票。肯普在竞选活动中主张，共和党需要一位像杜利这样的政治局外人，才能在11月的大选中成功击败现任民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫。

The runoff election served as a high-profile proxy battle between Donald Trump and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Trump issued a late-stage endorsement for Representative Mike Collins just a few days before the vote, boosting his campaign. Meanwhile, Kemp campaigned heavily for former football coach Derek Dooley, arguing that the Republican Party needed a political outsider to successfully defeat incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff in November.

尽管肯普曾在四年前的连任竞选中成功击退了特朗普支持的初选挑战者，但在这场参议院席位的争夺中，特朗普支持的候选人最终胜出。佐治亚州共和党内部的竞争依然激烈，特别是在该州此前将多个参议院席位输给民主党之后。一些共和党人对于提名更倾向于特朗普而非本州州长的候选人感到担忧，因为肯普在温和派中颇受欢迎，且在保守派中也拥有支持，而特朗普与肯普此前曾存在长期不和。

Although Kemp had successfully fended off a Trump-backed primary challenger during his own re-election campaign four years prior, Trump prevailed in this latest clash between the two political heavyweights. Georgia Republicans remain raw after losing multiple Senate battles to Democrats in recent years. Some party members have expressed concern over running nominees more aligned with Trump than with their own governor, who remains popular with moderates and liked by conservatives despite his past feuds with the former president.

柯林斯与民主党现任参议员乔恩·奥索夫之间即将展开的对决，被视为全美最受关注且最重要的竞选之一。佐治亚州是两党争夺参议院控制权的关键战场。对于试图通过净增四个席位以控制参议院的民主党人来说，佐治亚州是一个必须赢下的州。奥索夫最初是在2020年选举后的决选中当选的，他是目前唯一一位在特朗普于2024年赢下的州中竞选连任的民主党参议员，这使得他的连任之路面临巨大挑战。

The upcoming matchup between Collins and incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is set to be one of the country's most closely watched and competitive campaigns. Georgia represents a critical battleground for both parties as they vie for control of the Senate. For Democrats, who are aiming for a net gain of four seats to take over the chamber, Georgia is considered a must-win state. Ossoff, who was first elected in a 2020 runoff, faces a particularly challenging path as the only Democratic senator running for re-election in a state that Donald Trump carried in the 2024 presidential election.

共和党人将奥索夫视为最容易被击败的竞选连任的民主党参议员，并将其列为重点攻坚目标。柯林斯已经开始对奥索夫发起攻势，指责其无法代表本州人民和价值观。与此同时，奥索夫也在积极应对这场激烈争夺。鉴于奥索夫在全美范围内引发的关注，这场11月对决的结果不仅决定参议院控制权，甚至可能对2028年的总统大选产生潜在影响。

Republicans have heavily targeted Ossoff, viewing him as the most vulnerable Senate Democrat up for re-election. Collins has already begun framing his campaign against Ossoff, portraying him as out of touch with Georgia's values. Meanwhile, Ossoff has been gearing up for the hotly contested race. The outcome of this November clash could also carry broader political implications, potentially influencing the 2028 presidential landscape given the national buzz surrounding Ossoff.

在同日举行的佐治亚州共和党州长初选决选中，选民们做出了一个出人意料的决定，拒绝了副州长伯特·琼斯，转而支持自筹资金的亿万富翁、商人里克·杰克逊。值得注意的是，琼斯在竞选中同时获得了前总统唐纳德·特朗普和佐治亚州州长布莱恩·肯普的共同支持。尽管得到了该州两位最具影响力的共和党巨头的联合背书，琼斯依然未能赢得党内提名。

In a surprising turn of events during the same Tuesday primary runoffs, Georgia Republican voters rejected Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones in the race for governor. Jones had secured the rare joint endorsement of both former President Donald Trump and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Despite having the backing of the state's two most influential Republican heavyweights, Jones was defeated by Rick Jackson, a self-funding billionaire and businessman who will now represent the GOP in the gubernatorial race.

这一结果表明，尽管特朗普在参议院代理人战争中取得了胜利，但佐治亚州的共和党选民在州长人选上展现出了独立性。他们选择支持杰克逊这位自筹资金的候选人，而不是建制派和特朗普共同推荐的副州长。这场州长初选决选的结果，为当天的选举增添了复杂性，也显示出选民在不同职位选举中有着不同的考量。

This outcome highlighted a distinct split among Georgia's Republican electorate on the same ballot. While Trump successfully propelled Representative Mike Collins to victory in the Senate proxy battle, voters chose to chart a different path for the state's highest executive office by favoring a self-funded outsider over the co-endorsed lieutenant governor. The defeat of Jones demonstrated that joint establishment and populist backing does not guarantee victory in Georgia's competitive primary environment.

在佐治亚州之外，前总统唐纳德·特朗普支持的候选人在同日举行的其他州初选中表现不一。在阿拉巴马州，特朗普支持的联邦众议员巴里·摩尔在共和党参议院提名决选中成功胜出。根据媒体预测，摩尔击败了前海军陆战队海豹突击队成员杰拉德·哈德森，顺利赢得了该州的参议院候选人提名，这展示了特朗普在当地选民中的号召力。

Beyond Georgia, the performance of candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump in other state primaries on Tuesday yielded highly mixed results. In Alabama, Trump-backed Representative Barry Moore secured a victory in the Republican runoff for the state's Senate nomination. Moore successfully defeated former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson to claim the nomination, demonstrating the former president's strong influence among Republican voters in the state.

然而，在俄克拉荷马州，特朗普支持的候选人则未能取得直接胜利。在俄克拉荷马州州长的共和党初选中，特朗普支持的迈克·马泽伊仅获得了约四分之一的选票，得票率位列第二。由于没有候选人赢得过半数选票，马泽伊将进入定于8月举行的决选，这使得特朗普在这一关键州长职位上的背书效果仍留有悬念。

However, Trump's endorsement faced a clear setback in Oklahoma's gubernatorial primary. His chosen candidate for governor, Mike Mazzei, finished in second place after receiving only about one-fourth of the total votes. Because no candidate secured an outright majority in the primary, Mazzei is now headed to a runoff election scheduled for August, leaving the final outcome of Trump's endorsement in that key race unresolved.
