Included as competitive because Inside Elections rated it Tilt D (Sep 17). Collins won June 16 GOP runoff over Derek Dooley. A Cook print page fetched showed GA under Lean D but its update date was unclear (page showed 'Aug 20, 2026'); Wikipedia's table lists Cook Likely D as of Sep 23. No current prediction-market price for GA was captured.
