Hours after his pick, Rep. Mike Collins, beat Derek Dooley in the Republican runoff, Trump took to Truth Social to celebrate Collins and attack his likely November opponent, Jon Ossoff. In the post he called Ossoff a "joke in D.C." and wrote, "Nobody even knows who he is!!!" He also said he would hold "Big TRUMP Rallies for Mike in Georgia."
Earlier the former president arrived late to a G7 session and declared, "I'm the boss," a moment that drew awkward laughter and sharp online criticism. Reports note he sat beside French President Emmanuel Macron in a seat warmed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and critics on social media called his behavior immature.
