Rep. Doug Collins is one of Trump's fiercest defenders, and now the president is pushing for his appointment to a Georgia Senate seat
Rep. Doug Collins will soon play a starring role in President Donald Trump’s impeachment defense — and he’s already using it to audition for the Senate.
Trump phoned Kemp on Wednesday and pressed him to appoint Collins to the seat, according to a source familiar with the call. The conversation was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.Donald Trump Jr., who hosted a fundraiser for Collins in late October, tweeted that Collins is a "fighter and exactly the kind of person Republicans should want in the Senate.” Matt Schlapp, the pro-Trump chairman of the American Conservative Union, sent a letter to Kemp urging him to tap Collins.
He says the impeachment process has been so unfair that Democrats have left him no choice but to be a fierce partisan. His colleagues describe Collins as friendly, no nonsense and high-energy — he walks around the Capitol hallways bouncing a small rubber ball, his version of a fidget spinner. And while Collins might have a southern drawl, he speaks with the speed of an auctioneer.
