Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) on Monday announced his bid for the Senate in next year's midterms, joining a now-contested GOP primary of hopefuls attempting to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.
'We need a Senator who works for Georgia, not the California crazies or New York nutjobs,' Collins said in the announcement, posted to X . 'I don't know who Jon Ossoff really works for, but it sure as heck isn't Georgia.'
Collins is the second Republican to hop in the party's primary, joining Rep. Buddy Carter. Both Carter and Collins are courting President Donald Trump's endorsement, with Collins including clips of Trump singing the representative's praises in his announcement.

Former NM Cabinet secretary Sonya Smith joins secretary of state race
Aug. 1—SANTA FE — A former Cabinet secretary in Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's administration has entered New Mexico's secretary of state race, setting the stage for a three-way Democratic primary next year. Sonya Smith, who led the state's Department of Veteran Services, announced her candidacy for secretary of state this week. She joins fellow Democrats Amanda López Askin, the Doña Ana County clerk, and Katherine Clark, the Santa Fe County clerk, in the race to succeed current Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver. Toulouse Oliver has been New Mexico's top elections official since 2016 but is barred under the state Constitution from seeking a third consecutive four-year term. Smith, a former U.S. Air Force and Gulf War veteran, was nominated in January 2021 by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to lead the Department of Veterans Services. Before that, she had worked in the state Department of Health, coordinating COVID-19 testing. After nearly two years on the job, Smith stepped down from her Cabinet-level post in November 2022 to be closer to her family. She said Friday she would work to build on Toulouse Oliver's record if elected, while also expanding voter education efforts across New Mexico. "It is a need and desire to protect our vote; that's what I'm running on," Smith told the Journal. She also said she planned to target independent voters — along with registered Democrats — in the run-up to the June 2026 primary election. The election will be the first in modern state history in which independent voters are allowed to vote without having to change their party affiliation, under legislation signed into law this year by Lujan Grisham. If her election bid is successful, Smith would become the first African American elected secretary of state in New Mexico. She acknowledged Friday she does not have experience running elections but said her leadership skills and connections made with veterans statewide could be assets on the campaign trail. All New Mexico statewide offices will be on the ballot next year, including governor, attorney general and secretary of state. No Republican candidate has, as of yet, announced a campaign for next year's secretary of state contest. The last GOP candidate to win election as New Mexico secretary of state was Dianna Duran in 2012. Duran resigned from office in 2015 while being investigated for using campaign contributions to pay for a gambling habit. New Mexico's primary election is scheduled for June 2, 2026, with the general election set for Nov. 3.

Senate confirms Trump's pick to oversee higher ed, a man tied to for-profit colleges
The Senate confirmed President Donald Trump's pick to oversee higher education policy, a man with deep ties to the for-profit college industry, by a 50-to-45 vote on August 1. Senate Majority John Thune filed cloture on Kent's nomination earlier in the week. And the education committee had already advanced Kent on a 12-11 vote without a hearing in late May. The undersecretary at the Department of Education oversees billions in federal financial aid and is charged with ensuring America's colleges provide a quality education. Education Secretary Linda McMahon had previously told USA TODAY that Kent is a 'natural leader' whose experience and concern for students 'make him the ideal selection for under secretary of education." He had won the support of several prominent university trade groups who are opposed to Trump's attacks on universities, but said they supported Kent's nomination. His confirmation comes as the Trump administration seeks to reshape higher education and has launched numerous investigations into high profile universities. Kent had already been working at the agency on the administration's initiatives like K-12 school choice. But prior to working in the government, Kent had a long history working for or close to for-profit colleges. From 2008 to the end of 2015, Kent worked for Education Affiliates, a for-profit college company. When he left, he was a vice president of legislative and regulatory affairs. In 2015, the Department of Justice announced the company had agreed to a $13 million settlement to settle accusations it had gamed the federal financial aid system. The company told USA TODAY Kent was not involved in the settlement or the allegations of fraud. Critics, including student advocacy groups and teacher unions, had called on the Senate education committee to put Kent through a public hearing to answer questions about his time working for the company. And one of the original whistleblowers tied to that case, Dorothy Thomas, expressed concern about someone from the company's leadership holding the under secretary position. Kent had also worked for Career Education Colleges and Universities, a for-profit college trade group. He developed a reputation for deep policy knowledge while speaking against regulations geared toward the for-profit college industry. That group's CEO, Jason Altmire, said Kent was not driven by partisan politics and would bring an unbiased view to the under secretary position. He then went to work for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin's administration as a deputy secretary of education. Youngkin, in a prepared statement, said Kent improved how Virginia manages colleges and made them more accountable to students and families through increased transparency. Chair of the Virginia Senate's education committee, Democrat Ghazala Hashmi, told USA TODAY Kent had tried to destabilize accreditation in the state and he was aligned with efforts to dismantle consumer protections. In a departing message to the commonwealth, Kent said he was proud of reducing costs while pushing for free speech and accountability at Virginia's colleges.

No nominees deal
The Senate will try to break an impasse Friday to advance three spending bills in hopes of showing progress after days of discord. A separate holdup over presidential nominations, meanwhile, could come down to direct talks between Democrats and the White House. A patchwork of objections from senators on both sides of the aisle have held up the spending legislation for days and foiled a plan for what some had hoped would be a four-bill package. But members expressed new optimism Friday that a second, more limited attempt could move forward. It's one of two pieces of major business Republican leaders are hoping to wrap up before the Senate starts its traditional summer recess. In addition to the spending bills — where they are keen to show some progress ahead of the Sept. 30 government shutdown deadline — they also want to confirm a broad tranche of President Donald Trump's nominees. The nominee conversations appear more dicey, senators said, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Friday that he has put Trump officials 'into conversation directly' with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's team. Top White House staffers were also in the Capitol on Thursday night after Thune met with Trump at the White House. 'This is how this is ultimately going to get resolved,' Thune said. Meanwhile, GOP senators said leaders are running traps on a possible deal that would advance the smaller package of spending bills. Under the pending proposal, leaders would seek unanimous consent to tie together the fiscal 2026 spending bills funding the Veterans Affairs and Agriculture departments, as well as military construction projects and the FDA. A third spending bill, funding Congress itself, could be voted on separately. Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins said Friday morning she expects a unanimous consent request on some constellation of those three bills. The Maine Republican is eager to show progress on bipartisan spending bills before the Senate leaves for its lengthy August recess. Upon their return, members will have only a handful of session days to make further progress ahead of the shutdown deadline. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) has made clear he will object to including Legislative Branch funding in the package and wants the chance to vote against the $7.1 billion bill. It's the smallest of the 12 annual appropriations bills, but Kennedy maintains it still costs too much. 'They agreed to my proposal,' he told reporters Friday. 'They're going to have one vote on [Military Construction–VA] and [Agriculture-FDA] together and separate vote on [Legislative Branch] so I can vote no. Then they'll marry them up later if all three pass, as they probably will.' Coming to a nominations deal could be much trickier, given Trump's determination to get all of his 150-plus pending nominees confirmed quickly. Trump on Thursday said on Truth Social that the Senate 'must stay in Session, taking no recess' until all of the nominees are confirmed. Even if senators stay in Washington, that goal will be all but impossible to meet absent Democratic cooperation. Democrats under Schumer are exploring whether to quickly confirm a smaller subset of nominees in exchange for other concessions, such as the release of government funding they claim has been illegally 'impounded' by the Trump administration.
