Washington Examiner: “Dooley has consistently opted not to support Trump at the ballot box or through financial contributions”
GOP Operative: “[Dooley’s] claim to fame is that he got fired from being head coach of Georgia’s No. 1 rival”
Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Charlie Bailey released the following statement after failed and fired former Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley officially entered the Georgia U.S. Senate race:
“This chaotic, crowded Republican primary just got messier with the entrance of failed and fired former Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, who has failed to live up to his family name throughout his career. We’ll see what’s harder for Dooley — answering for a Trump bill that strips health care for 750,000 Georgians, or remembering which SEC team to root for.”
Recent reporting revealed that Dooley did not vote in multiple elections with Trump on the ballot, never donated to Trump, did not register as a Republican for much of his life, and hired anti-Trump staffers as he prepared to launch his campaign — which experts say will hurt him as the GOP primary field competes for Trump’s endorsement.
