Rate a Loeffler vs Collins runoff

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Wouldn’t Democrats vote for Loefller in this scenario and along with Suburban Republicans give Loeffler the win

Democrats don't show up to vote for Democrats in the runoff. Why would they show up to vote for Senator Horse Girl (R-Corruption)?

Hey, some of my best friends are horse girls!

(No, really; they are.)

Honestly, the premise seems a bit unlikely. There are other Republican candidates who won't poll well, but will take at least a few votes and whilst there are multiple Democratic candidates at most three of them will be competitive. So for Loeffler and Collins to both get through, you'd need the Republicans to have a very comfortable lead and for Loeffler and Collins to split their support pretty closely.

Georgia is likely to be at least somewhat contested by Biden, so it's unlikely Republicans will run up the margins that much, and Loeffler is highly unlikely to be polling anywhere near Collins, so I just don't see this as a likely outcome at all.

Collins would be the favorite. Especially after the insider trading scandal.
