As Republicans splinter, Ossoff seizes the offensive in a changing Senate race
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) With Donald Trump’s approval ratings slipping and Georgia Republicans locked in a three-way scramble for his favor, Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff is going on offense — leaning hard into voting rights and anti-corruption themes as he frames himself as a steady hand in a chaotic time.
At a reelection rally Saturday, Ossoff denounced the FBI raid of Fulton County’s election site as a “scene out of a banana republic” and described the November vote as nothing short of a decisive test for the nation’s future.
“I believe we will escape this moral tailspin and recommit ourselves to the values that have powered 250 years of progress,” he said. “But none of this is possible without victory this November.”
Ossoff remains the nation’s most vulnerable Democratic incumbent on the 2026 midterm ballot, a distinction he happily invokes to mobilize supporters. But as a May primary nears, senior Democratic leaders — and even influential Republicans — see a race tilting in his favor.
