Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are set to participate in a fundraising event supporting Rep. Mike Collins as he campaigns against Sen. Jon Ossoff in the upcoming U.S. Senate race. The roundtable fundraiser, scheduled for Thursday, September 24 in Atlanta, aims to boost Collins's chances despite trailing Ossoff in recent polls by 7 points according to Trafalgar Group. Kemp endorsed Collins after initially supporting Collins’s primary opponent, and both politicians are emphasizing Collins's business acumen and leadership skills. The race is currently designated as "leans Democrat" by the Cook Political Report.
