The Daily Caller has confirmed through an aide that Congressman Doug Collins (R-GA-09) is, indeed, running for US Senate against Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA):
Republican Georgia Rep. Doug Collins plans to run for the battleground Senate seat in Georgia, the Daily Caller confirmed Monday.
Collins will likely face the newly appointed Republican Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler in the election, which will take place in November. Politico first reported the news, saying Collins has even consulted the White House about the planned run for Senate.
There is no word on when an official announcement, but this confirms what we have speculated since Senator Loeffler’s appointment last year.
