Georgia, Michigan Senate Debates Turn to Personal Attacks
Candidates traded accusations over Trump, white nationalism and ethics as the three races could help decide Senate control.
- On Thursday, incumbent Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff and Republican Rep. Mike Collins squared off in a heated Georgia Senate debate, with Ossoff questioning Collins's association with a white nationalist and what he called his "childlike devotion" to Donald Trump.
- Ossoff repeatedly pressed Collins to explain how Trump's tariffs benefit Georgia's economy given rising consumer costs, a question Collins never directly answered despite multiple attempts.
- In Michigan's Senate race, Republican Mike Rogers attacked Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, repeatedly calling him a "con man" and questioning his medical credentials and alleged ties to terrorist organizations.
- Rogers defended his position by citing calls this week to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about securing a trade deal, though El-Sayed dismissed the reversal as driven by sagging poll numbers.
- Georgia and Michigan remain critical battlegrounds for Senate control, yet many Republicans increasingly focus on other states as Democratic momentum widens in districts Trump won two years ago.
