US EditionBalancing Trump criticism and bipartisanship, Democrat Jon Ossoff walks a fine line in Georgia
- Jon Ossoff, currently serving his first term as a U.S. Senator representing Georgia at age 38, has announced his campaign for reelection in 2026, sharply criticizing President Trump’s second term.
- Ossoff's campaign follows Georgia voters who narrowly chose Democrat Biden in 2020 but returned to Trump by 2 points in 2024, reflecting a polarized electorate.
- He emphasizes patriotism, military service, and bipartisan cooperation while facing criticism from Democrats about not fighting hard enough and opposition from Republicans.
- Ossoff emphasized that his primary responsibility is to serve Georgia, expressed his willingness to collaborate with the current administration, and admitted that there is no simple solution to halt Trump.
- As the only Democrat seeking reelection in a Trump-carried state, Ossoff aims to retain his seat amid a narrow Senate majority and hopes his race will be the "main event" in 2026.
