President Trump Supported Vernon Jones Makes Runoff for Georgia GOP Representative

President Trump’s pick for GOP US Representative in the state of Georgia, Vernon Jones, reached a runoff as a result of last night’s results in the state.   

The Washington Examiner reported this morning.

A Georgia congressional candidate hand-picked by former President Donald Trump forced a Republican runoff election with a conservative trucking executive in a competitive race that tested the strength of the former president’s power in the state.

Mike Collins, the oldest son of former Rep. Mac Collins, and Vernon Jones, the self-described “black Donald Trump,” each failed to meet the threshold needed to declare an outright victory on Tuesday night.
