Republican Rep. Doug Collins' Senate campaign in Georgia has prompted a raging intraparty fight leading to the departure of some of his top political advisers and recriminations with the Senate GOP's main campaign arm.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is accusing Collins of running against Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a Republican incumbent appointed by the governor, out of his own"selfish" interests -- while raising alarms that the bid has jeopardized the party's chances to hold onto two GOP seats and made it harder for President Donald Trump to carry the Peach State in the fall.
Some state legislators, including some of Collins' allies, have pushed to change the rules to end the free-for-all and create party primaries in the race. But that prospect appears unlikely, especially since Kemp has threatened to veto the bill. Instead, Senate Republicans are privately hopeful that Collins changes his mind and decides to run for his House seat since the filing deadline isn't until March 6.
