President Donald Trump had high praise for Georgia’s newest Republican senator during a post-impeachment victory lap Thursday. He also praised a Republican congressman who's challenging her for her seat in a special election Nov. 3.
Both Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Rep. Doug Collins were in the audience as Trump spoke for more than an hour at the White House.
The 2020 election rivals were among many GOP lawmakers the president thanked by name for supporting him throughout the impeachment saga that ended with Trump's acquittal Wednesday by the Senate. Trump’s endorsement could give either candidate a potent advantage in the race.
