ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff was reelected Tuesday to a second term, holding a key seat for Democrats by defeating Republican Rep. Mike Collins in a race that catapulted the Senate’s youngest member to the forefront of his party’s national stars as it looks to stymie President Donald Trump in his final White House years.
Ossoff, 39, began the cycle as a top Republican target and the only Senate Democrat running for reelection in a state Trump carried in 2024. But from the start, the senator ran as an aggressive Trump critic, with blistering critiques of “a failed president” that became a staple of voters’ social media feeds across the country.
He became a fundraising juggernaut, pulling in more than $100 million and sparking speculation about a potential 2028 presidential bid to succeed the man he said has used the Oval Office to enrich himself and damage the U.S. political and economic system.
I was avoiding the news all day. I was so relieved to see this piece of news, and the night’s only gotten better. 💙💙💙
Sad about Nixon in Florida tho, but it seems Florida was a migrant beacon for the worst kinda people across the country for a decade so I fear it’ll be lost for a bit.
Just about everything else is looking up, tho.
Texas is finally turning around. Florida may need a few more years in the wilderness.
Florida is unfortunately a backwater swamp that will be underwater in the coming years, literally.
I just hope other states have the sense to quarantine conservatives there while accepting all other refugees (well, all other refugees that don’t ultimately support conservatives).
