Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) are teaming up to host a fundraiser for Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) as he aims to unseat Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in Georgia’s U.S. Senate delegation.

As Collins trails incumbent Ossoff in recent polling, the popular Republican governor and the GOP leader in the upper chamber are heading to the Peach State to stump for Collins. Collins’s campaign is hosting the event in Atlanta, with Kemp and Thune headlining as special guests. The event will take place on Thursday, Sept. 24, and feature a roundtable at 6 p.m. and a reception at 6:45 p.m., the Collins campaign confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
