Political career
U.S. House of Representatives
In March 2019 Collins entered the full unredacted testimony of Bruce Ohr into the Congressional Record.[1]
During the impeachment coup in December 2019, Collins avidly defended President Trump throughout and gave a compelling speech which elicited a standing ovation from fellow House Republicans.[2][3]
2020 Senate run
Collins said in December 2019 that he was considering running for the Senate in 2020, saying he wasn't "ruling it out".[4] He later announced on January 29, 2020 that he officially launched a campaign to run for the seat currently held by Kelly Loeffler.[5]
Criticism of Kelly Loeffler
Collins has strongly criticized Loeffler for what is perceived to be insufficient conservatism, such as her support by an anti-Trump group.[6]
