Tim Scott presses GOP to coalesce behind opposition to Ossoff

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) pressed Georgia leaders to coalesce behind a single candidate to flip the key Senate seat red, warning that having three GOP contenders ahead of the primary would make the race “tougher.”

“We need to get it down to one candidate as soon as possible. And if we are able to do so, we have a chance to be successful there. But as long as we have three candidates, it’s gonna be tougher for us,” he told the Washington Examiner’s Peter Laffin during an interview this week, referencing Reps. Mike Collins (R-GA), Buddy Carter (R-GA), and Derek Dooley’s bids to oust Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA).
