SNEAK PEEK. Vice President JD Vance called it a “preview of the Senate race” — and it was no understatement.

Just before he addressed a crowd of nearly 1,000 at a refrigeration plant in Peachtree City, the three top GOP contenders aiming to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff next year gave consecutive speeches.

For former football coach Derek Dooley, it was the first public political speech of his career. He went heavy on the football metaphors — an early hallmark of his campaign — comparing Ossoff’s reelection bid to a question of whether he should be the “starting quarterback for the next six years.”

“And I don’t know about you guys, but where I come from, when you deliver those kind of results, your a-- is on the bench,” he said.

U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter followed, hammering Ossoff’s vote to limit U.S. arms sales to Israel. U.S. Rep. Mike Collins closed out the trio by branding the Democrat “California’s third senator.”

The joint appearance marked a new phase in their quest for President Donald Trump’s endorsement — a prize that seems very much up for grabs.

The biggest tell? Each Senate hopeful was given a coveted speaking slot, while Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, Trump’s pick for governor, was the lone gubernatorial candidate invited to address the crowd.
