Democratic rising star Ossoff projected to hold Georgia seat

Goldstein: —Tone: —

Democrat Jon Ossoff projected to hold key Georgia Senate seat Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is projected to have won re-election in Georgia, defeating Republican challenger Mike Collins and pushing the crucial swing state deeper into Democratic control. Ossoff, a rising star in the Democratic Party, portrayed his opponent as loyal to a "failed president" and made the rising cost of living a central issue in the campaign. Georgia voted for Donald Trump in 2024. Collins had blamed rising cost of living on former President Joe Biden and defended his support for Trump's war in Iran. With polls suggesting Ossoff held a solid lead in the race, Republicans had diverted resources from Georgia to other contests.

News of Ossoff's projected victory, which was announced less than an hour after polls closed, rippled through the Georgia Democrats watch party in Atlanta with supporters cheering and clapping. He began his remarks by thanking his family and voters in Georgia for their support, replying "I love you, too", in response to shouts coming from the jubilant crowd. He returned to many of the points he made on the campaign trail, expressing his concern about the economic woes faced by everyday Americans, while attacking big pharma and corporate America and alleged corruption in the White House. "This moment is an opening not for restoration, but for reformation," Ossoff said. "And so, amidst our celebration tonight, we must acknowledge that the underlying crisis gripping our Republic remains, and that therefore, our most vital work lies ahead." The race was one of the first major contests projected as part of the midterms on Tuesday, which will shape the rest of Donald Trump's presidency. The outcome will determines which party - Trump's Republicans or opposition Democrats - controls Congress. Brian Kemp, Georgia's term-limited Republican governor, was the favoured candidate to run against Ossoff, but he declined. Political pundits suspected that Kemp had avoided running, wary of Ossoff's rising star power, with rumours swirling that the Democrat could be mulling a run for president in 2028. Throughout his campaign, Ossoff downplayed such rumours, saying on multiple occasions that he has "zero interest" in a presidential bid. His messaging on the campaign trail focused on the economy and voter concerns around affordability, which exit polls show was the top issue for many. Voter voices: Trump's influence on US midterm voters He often hammered Collins, who is currently serving in the US House of Representatives, for voting to support Trump's tariffs which have been linked to rising inflation. His victory was not unexpected but Republicans had still hoped this would be a more competitive race. It's a state that had previously voted reliably red for decades. President Donald Trump won it in 2024, after Joe Biden eked out a narrow win there in 2020. An easy win by Ossoff in Georgia could portend a good night for Democrats, though it's still too early to know. The win could also ramp up speculation about his 2028 plans. The Georgia Democrat is considered a potential leading contender if he throws his hat in the ring.

Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff cruises to re-election in Georgia

Goldstein: —Tone: —

Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff has won re-election against Republican Rep. Mike Collins, NBC News projects, prevailing in Georgia after a nationally watched race that was defined, at times, by heated personal attacks. Ossoff’s win is a major hold for Democrats in one of the most closely divided battleground states in the country — and one that both sides saw as critical for control of the Senate earlier this election cycle. Ossoff grabbed an early advantage in the race and held on, with a massive money advantage and a sizable lead in most public polling. In a victory speech Tuesday night, Ossoff told supporters that “the American people have rebuked the depravity, corruption, and incompetence of the failed lame duck President Donald J. Trump.” Striking a different note, he also thanked Republican mayors and leaders who backed him during the campaign, as well as the Republican and independent voters who joined his coalition. “Never doubt that unity is possible,” Ossoff said. His dominant position in a state where both parties have won in recent years turned heads nationally, and clips of Ossoff’s campaign speeches began to catch on among national Democrats throughout 2026. Follow live updates on the midterm elections That prompted some talk of whether Ossoff could run for president in 2028, though he said during a debate that he would serve a full second term . Much of the race, including two head-to-head debates, focused on the national political atmosphere, with Ossoff tying Collins to Trump and his low approval rating. Meanwhile, Collins would often try to pivot to votes Ossoff took under former Democratic President Joe Biden, who left office in January 2025. The economy and the increasingly high price of consumer goods were also at the center of the race. Ossoff repeatedly tried to get Collins to defend Trump’s tariff regime and the Iran war. Collins would regularly try to brush off questions about Trump’s economy, including the tariffs, and instead try to blame Biden-era policies for high costs. “That Bidenomics, that Green New Deal my opponent voted for, that’s where this inflation came from,” Collins said at their first Senate debate. The race also was replete with attacks of a more personal nature. Ossoff focused on a series of social media posts in which Collins’ son-in-law promoted white nationalist posts , as well as a former Collins staffer’s messages with avowed white supremacist Nick Fuentes . “You’ve hired half the Third Reich,” Ossoff said at a debate last month. Collins said he doesn’t support any form of racism or white nationalism. “I don’t care where the source is, and I tell him that,” Collins said of his son-in-law. Collins also noted campaign contributions to a pro-Ossoff super PAC from Reid Hoffman, a billionaire whose name appeared in the Epstein files. Ossoff retorted that Collins had taken votes to block full release of the files. As Trump’s approval ratings continued to drop, Republicans across the country started to try to distance themselves from him, including rebranding their messaging or finding individual policies to start disagreeing with, most notably tariffs and the war in Iran, both of which are overwhelmingly unpopular. He defended the war in Iran, promoting the administration’s rationale that it’s needed because Iran can’t be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. He said the tariffs were “fair” in the context of the state’s major ports and trade with China. “Savannah Port and Brunswick Port have been on my mind,” Collins said in a debate last month.
