GOP Rep. Doug Collins to run for US Senate in Georgia
Rep. Doug Collins, one of President Donald Trump’s top allies in Congress, will announce a campaign against GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler, according to a Georgia Republican. The decision would set up a fierce melee for the November 2020 race, as Democrats attempt to pick up at least one of two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia this year as Republican Sen. David Perdue is also up for reelection in the state. Loeffler is a political newcomer, Atlanta businesswoman and co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream. GOP Gov. Brian Kemp appointed her to Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson’s seat in December over Collins and other potential candidates. — CNN

A deputy with the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department pulled the Wienermobile over for failing to follow the state’s Move Over Law, according to a post on the department’s Facebook page. — CNN
