Former University of Tennessee head football coach Derek Dooley didn’t vote in multiple presidential elections, never donated to President Donald Trump, and declined to register as a Republican in several states, a record now drawing scrutiny as he eyes a Senate run in swing state Georgia.
Though he has the backing of Gov. Brian Kemp, Dooley has consistently opted not to support Trump at the ballot box or through financial contributions. Voter records show he didn’t cast a ballot in any Texas election in 2016 while living and working there, and similarly sat out New York elections in 2020, according to that state’s Board of Elections.
