As Senate race heats up, political expert cautions candidates about going too far to the right
There is still more than a year from the 2026 midterm election, but in battleground Georgia the race for Senate is heating up. U.S. Rep. Mike Collins officially announced on Monday that he is running for Senate, as Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King just last week announced he was suspending his campaign in the race. Collins now joins fellow Republican U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter in the race to unseat Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff. 'So, in these primaries, you tend to have to go pretty far to the right,' University of North Georgia political science professor Nathan Price told Channel 2's Richard Elliot. Both Collins and Carter are trying to court the GOP base as both men hope to get President Trump's endorsement. Price isn't surprised that both men are racing to the right. RELATED STORIES: Insurance Commissioner John King suspends campaign for U.S. Senate Gov. Kemp announces decision on Senate run in 2026, ending speculation With Brian Kemp not running for Senate, which Georgia Republicans could challenge Jon Ossoff? He thinks it's necessary to win the GOP primary but cautions that going too far right could turn off moderate voters in places like Cobb and North Fulton counties, places where voters like Republican Gov. Brian Kemp but don't much care for Trump. 'If you move too far to the right where you are not able to win those highly educated, suburban voters in those swing states, it makes the math very difficult,' Price said. Kemp reportedly told the Republican Senate campaigns he wouldn't endorse any of them, something that may have led to King's exit from the race last week. Kemp reportedly plans to endorse his longtime family friend Derek Dooley once Dooley decides if he wants to run. Either way, the Republicans could be in for a messy and expensive primary - something they wanted to avoid. 'The Republicans to have a good shot at this seat want to avoid a messy primary fight that causes them to spend a lot of resources before they even get their chance at that general election,' Price said. Elliot reached out to people close to Dooley to see if he could get a hint of when and if he may make a decision to run. So far, he hasn't heard back from them.

Fox News Poll: Support for deportation depends on who is being targeted
As the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, or ICE, continues to crackdown on illegal immigration, about half of voters say the department is too aggressive in its deportation efforts. Furthermore, while support for deportation is high, it depends on who is being targeted. The latest Fox News survey, released Monday, finds 3 in 10 back deporting all illegal immigrants, while 6 in 10 supports only deporting those charged with crimes but would allow others to stay and apply for citizenship. One in 10 favors letting all illegal immigrants remain in the U.S. Since 2015, a majority has generally favored the deportation of illegal immigrants. Republicans (54%) are about eight times more likely than Democrats (7%) to say all illegal immigrants should be deported, and one-quarter of independents agree (25%). Roughly 8 in 10 Democrats, 6 in 10 independents, and 4 in 10 Republicans agree that at least illegal immigrants charged with crimes should be deported, while others should be offered a path to stay. On the current approach to deportation, however, views are divided. Half, 49%, feel ICE has been too aggressive in its efforts to deport illegal immigrants while a quarter (24%) say it has not been aggressive enough. Nearly 3 in 10 say deportation efforts are about right (27%). Most Democrats think ICE is too aggressive (81%), while Republicans are split between saying its actions are about right (43%) or not aggressive enough (40%). Some 17% of Republicans think ICE has been too aggressive. Independents are more likely to say the agency is too aggressive (49%) than about right (28%) or not aggressive enough (23%). When asked what concerns them about illegal immigration, the largest number of voters say that it overburdens government programs (39%). Fewer worry whether it leads to an increase in crime (16%) or terrorism (10%), takes jobs from U.S. citizens (14%), or changes the country's culture (9%). Concerns about illegal immigration have shifted somewhat compared to 15 years ago. At that time, by a 10-point margin, a greater share were worried about economic issues like overburdening government programs or taking away jobs from citizens (63% in 2010 vs. 53% now), and fewer were concerned about increasing crime (6% in 2010 vs. 16% now). Meanwhile, majorities oppose immigration-related elements included in the new budget legislation, the "One Big Beautiful Bill," as 55% are against increasing spending on the border wall and 59% oppose spending more on immigrant detention centers. By a 6-point margin, voters think the Republican Party is better able to handle immigration than the Democratic Party, and President Donald Trump's best job ratings are on border security (56% approve, 44% disapprove) and immigration (48%, 51%). Fewer voters approve on foreign policy (45%, 54%), the economy (44%, 55%), and inflation and tariffs (36%, 62% for both). Overall, 46% approve of his job performance, while 54% disapprove. One reason Trump does so well on border security is that 1 in 5 Democrats approve of the job he's doing – their highest rating on any issue tested. The same is true of independents as more than half approve, making border security his best issue. A look at Hispanic voters… On illegal immigration, attitudes among Hispanic voters look similar to those among voters overall: 60% support deporting illegal immigrants charged with crimes while 15% support deporting all those here illegally (23% say let all stay). The majority thinks ICE has been too aggressive (57%) with a quarter (24%) saying about right, and 1 in 5 not aggressive enough (19%). More than half of Hispanic voters like Trump's performance on border security (54% approve) but dislike it on immigration (60% disapprove). Overall, 42% approve and 58% disapprove. And like voters overall, the biggest concern on illegal immigration among Hispanic voters is overburdening government (35%). Otherwise, concern spreads across other issues such as crime (15%), jobs (14%), culture (14%), and terrorism (11%). Conducted July 18-21, 2025, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,000 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (114) and cellphones (636) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (250). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher (among Hispanic voters it is ±9 percentage points). In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis and voter file data.
